I just read the review of the soundtrack album from the film Athens, GAI Inside-Out. As producer of both the film and the album I have read many reviews of both running the gamut from very positive to extremely negative (with around 80% being positive and 20% negative).

GUY CANT WRITE EITHER
I just read the review of the soundtrack album from the film Athens, GAI Inside-Out. As producer of both the film and the album I have read many reviews of both running the gamut from very positive to extremely negative (with around 80% being positive and 20% negative). This is, however, the first review that really pissed me off.
I have learned to live with the fact that the world is full of both moronic and negative individuals (and that many of them head for careers as critics, ironically enough) but rarely have I come across someone whose writing was so mean-spirited.
Richard Riegel spent most of his print space attacking one band out of the eight that were on the album and one small paragraph explaining that he enjoyed four other bands very much.
Not only that, he points out that he never liked the featured band on the album (R.E.M.), which makes me wonder what kind of idiot editor gave this guy the album in the first place. What next, Lawrence Welk reviews by someone who loves Megadeth and vice versa?
