And that's not the music i like, otherwise i would go out and get american hi-fi or three doors down. And i'm tired of people using this simple is good crap, simple IS good in some cases, but the artistry still has to be there, it has to be simple while still stimulating. Maybe the reason lots of us are so angry lately is because maybe like true fans, we truly loved olp, and thought they were capable of so much more, maybe we were wrong, but i won't settle for a sub-par effort or sub-par music. OLP isn't mettalica or led zep, they're not the strokes either, nor SOAD, dispite what raine might wish, so quit idolizing them and molding yourself after them, they should go out and make a OLP record, and go into that studio and work damn hard for a very long time, steve should give it his all, not stick to basic poppy riff, if they have the best drummer out there for fucks sake don't tell him to play like a drum machine. And for gods sake if you have a talented lyricist with a unique voice don't bring him down to the level of the ignornat masses so they understand. I think raine has just done what he vowed he never would, he's making his band become entertainers, and hit makers, instead of musicians, wich breaks my heart. DOn't getthis the wrong way, it's my faith in the band that has made me so skeptical, i know what tey can do, and gravity is not it. I have faith......just not blind faith
PS i'm hopeful for the new album, and the music seems better so far
Sean, you're my hero. <3
you rule Richelle
