oh ffs. grow up the lot of you. how many of you come to post on the forums to do something other than bitch and whine because masu isnt doing it right to you. i love the vid, and so do many others. but it doesnt matter if we do. it matters if gaz and co are happy with it. if they're content with their efforts, despite how -we- as fans feel, then its a success for them. its their first damn video, give them a break.
*sits the bitchers and the whiners down in front of the tv and puts Bambi on for them to watch* remember kids, if you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all. if you come to the forums for the sole purpose of bitching, please the door is that way, dont let it hit you on the ass on the way out.
whaaaaat? hahaha, man.
If you can't say anything nice, then middle school therapist isn't the line of work for you. Last time I checked, the forum here is open for anyone to post on. But I won't be dragged into that pit of a debate.
If Machinae was making music purely for themselves, then they wouldn't be where they are today. They are making music for 1) Themselves 2) The Fans 3) Money. Pretty much in that order. What's important to remember is that there are many of us who fall into that second category, and we have opinions on the matter. And, fans will have different opinions, which means that fans need to learn to put up with different opinions. People who are closed-minded and refuse to tolerate opinions they don't like are called
bigots.
I'm pretty sure Gaz is an adult. In fact, I know Gaz is an adult, because I listen to his voice when he sings and he sounds like an adult. And I'm pretty sure that he has a thick enough skin to take a little criticism. Also, I'm pretty sure that MaSu is not just made of Gaz. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Gaz is only 1/5 of the band. Of course, I could be wrong about all of that. I'm not positive.
What I said in my post was called criticism. I could have been a "pack of bitching children that need to be slapped" and said something like "WTF VIDEO SUX LOLOLO" and linked to meatspin. But I didn't. I said *what* I found fault with. Some of it was entirely opinion based, some was factual, and some was witty comedy that nobody could possibly take as offensive (read: Gordon=sexy).
doesnt give you the right to bash the video down to hell.
There is absolutely *no* reason why their first video should be subpar. None.
just like machinaes first ever songs were incredible and raised the bar on modern music?
this is a first for them, theyre not going to get it perfect. its this thing called trial and error. we're not all god given prodigies like you let on to be, sir.
Here's how golf is scored. There's an average score, called Par. The goal that most people go for is to shoot par. If you are really lucky, you will shoot better than par. If you do worse than average, you shoot subpar. Prodigies consistantly rarely shoot par, they're almost always better. Average people will shoot Par. And things that are subpar are, well... less than average.
And, I honestly don't think that MaSu is going to raise the bar on modern music. But, I (and many others hold this belief as well) firmly believe that their earliest works were their best.
So shoot me. Par on that is two shots. You just took one. One shot left!
