free speech is overrated!

let the haters clear out and move on to bitching about some other hipster annoyance.

No more SELLOUT threads. No more ED'S VOICE IS SHIT threads. This band is not responsible for YOUR hang-ups with "corporate machines." They are not your saviors and do not need you looking up to them as icons of truth and individuality. That was 1992, fucker. GET REAL.

The band of your youth is gone! Your youth is gone! Grow up, get a job and enjoy the music!
Jam out with your clam out.

    People are just being negative because it's easy to be negative. Who is out there making better rock music now? Bruce's new stuff sucks, Dave Mathews has always sucked pretending he knows rock, nobody comes close!

    Shut down the board?

    I'm starting to think someone should just blow up the Internet. It's a haven for lunatics.

    The hate wave will break eventually ... I do think people are being overly close-minded, but what else is new? This happened with Binaural and Riot Act too, although maybe not to the same degree. The album is a grower for me ... As I said in another thread, this is not a bad thing.

    so YOU are the other person who thinks Dave Matthews sucks!

    hi, i'm Geoff, it's nice to finally meet you!

    and yes, there are a lot of whiney punks on this board. it doesn't make sense to me for someone to "contribute" or hang around a place, or board in this case, centered around something you think sucks. these haters must hang around dumpsters all day bitching and moaning about how it doesn't smell pleasant.

    i'm looking at them for what they are .. which is a rock band with catchy fucking tunes that makes me drive fast and think hard. i dont care where or how they sell their god damn albums.

    and my SHUT THE BOARD DOWN title was a clever way to get people to read my thread.

    It's weird. For a few days there, I was thinking this was the first album in a long while to enjoy nearly universal praise on this board.

    It's as if all the Debbie Downers were on vacation until today.

    Well in my defense I've kept all my opinions in my thread.

    It's not that I don't like it, I just don't think it's as good as people make it out to be. I'm a little dissapointed in it, but that's okay. I said so in a very respectful manner. :)

    The board has definately been filled with poison lately. I've been thinking that I need to take a break from this place. Sad at such an exciting time.

    We have a lot of visitors right now who won't be staying...it's temporary. The best thing you can do is stop posting on the negative threads so they sink away. Find a positive thread and post on that...it'll rise to the top. :)

    And just keep listening to what you love...it doesn't matter what others are saying. It's about the music and how it makes YOU feel. :) I couldn't be happier it's such a great album.

    xo

    P.S. And if someone is trolling just to argue and get a rise, please report them to us. :)

    One day, you'll grow up and have the life experience to truly appreciate it, my son.

    Until that day ...
