Does it bother anyone that Keith is very critical and basically bashing other artists and genres?

What if Mick posted in this thread and said CE is a 1/10 album?

I don't think you should give with sssoul a rap for anything, though.

In my opinion repetitious negativity of the nonthoughtful "that just sucks" type
should be kept to a minimum;
repetitious joy of the "I love this" variety bears more repeating, simply because joy is a better thing than negativity.
I do think someone's pleasure in a piece of music can be dented by negative remarks from other people's,
which is why I hardly ever post in threads about tracks I don't like.

Much appreciated, Dande dear! I don't feel like a target of the "anti-Keithette" comments,
especially since I haven't posted my opinion of the album (don't feel like it in the prevailing atmosphere - I wonder why :E);
I haven't done any Mick-bashing; and I got LBA72 back to post about a book I'd recommended, so I'm squeaky clean. Isn't it strange

Doesn't bother me at all, and he criticizes some of my favorites - Beatles, Zep, etc.
I actually find it somewhat humorous at times (sometimes wondering if he's a bit off his rocker?), but the man has a right to give his opinion.
And you don't see him repeating the same bashing in every interview over and over and over again- he states his thought, gives his reason, makes his point, and moves on.

It is actually on the behalf of some other posters - and positions - I did my 'intervention' here. Probably most of them who are not willing to particiate here any longer, since the consensus here doesn't really inspire to write anything controversial (who wants to spoil the party?).

Anyway, it is sweet to see the individual people here taking so easily the voice of the collective here,
speaking by the behalf of that famous "we". I was just talking about funny generalations,
and shooting from the hip, but seemingly I catched something. So if anything good comes out of my few critical, party-spoiler remarks,
it is that of the identity and social attraction of "we" coming much stronger. At least there is one clear opponent or target for "we" now.

... Huh? I have tried and failed to understand what you're trying to say.

As for the "we" you bolded in my post: Yes, I am entitled to say Keithbabes have not been indulging
in any ganging up on anyone who has criticized Crosseyed Heart. Since I'm a Keithbabe myself,
the use of "we" was 100% appropriate, and it's plain kooky to point fingers at it
as if it were guilty of some imaginary meaning (or meaninglessness).

Now how about seeing if you don't feel better with some sunlight on your glands and some roughage in your diet

Oh, so nothing of this is about me! Cool! I will refrain from commenting on this, then.

PS: In case you have forgotten, you and I had a nice discussion about the album even before it came out.

Now i'm even more confused, this place is weird at times, who is Doxa, why would she tell Jane anything, she don't like Keiths album lol

I don't know what Jane thinks about the album, but as far as that Doxa goes - as far as I recall, that she-male hasn't stated not liking the album...

(if memory serves, when this thread was young, she got her share of the over-blowing Keithette sentiments
for saying something - wrongly interpreted - against the wind. I commented that, but I think she misinterpeted me,
but you gave a right interpretation, thank you. I forgot to comment it back then, sorry).

People who are upset now at all the love for the new Keith album, forget how many negative comments there have been on IORR about Keith...for LIFE, for his performance with Elvis Costello, for his comments in the press about Mick and other artists...on and on and on. One only needs to go back and do a search and you'll have no end of criticism from which to pick.

Keith has an album out now, Mick does not, nor Ronnie or Charlie, for that matter. People post at various times and have differing opinions. There are a few posters who are more active right now and yes, they love the album. It doesn't mean that the whole board has become simply a cheerleading squad for Keith.

LongBeach agreed that it wasn't cool to keep repeating negative posts. I wasn't bothered by it, but some were and let him know that. He could have decided to keep posting on IORR and shared his opinion in any number of other threads. He choose not to and that was HIS decision. To suggest that it is someone else's fault is a bit peevish. People do push back if your opinion goes against the grain, so you have to be prepared for that. There's no conspiracy of group think monitors to shut down anyone who doesn't hold the same opinion. But there does seem to be a fair amount of sulking sometimes. Fair enough, we've all been guilty of that...so take a break and come back when you feel up to it.

My main negative and critical reaction towards the album continues to be that it isn't long enough.
