Make sure to read that forum and see how classy Danny acts when there are negative opinions about the album
I kinda understand him though, most people and their opinions in that thread are so fail.
Not really. A lot of people also dislike the album, but going out and saying they are stupid for it is quite embarrassing.
Many of the posts sounds like this:
"Judgement and Alternative 4 is the only good albums"
"New album isn't as good as Judgement"
"Judgement and Alternative 4 are my favorite albums of all time, nothing can change that"
Which is just pure fail, because these people have clearly made up their mind before hearing the album even.
Especially the people saying "nothing can top X", how do they know that?
Because they've already made up their minds that the new album WONT be as good as earlier stuff.
Also, that forum is a place for appreciating the band and their music, i don't think comments such as "X sucks" etc. makes any sense, or has any function there whatsoever.
Im not saying you have to like everything by a band, but so many of these people focus on the negative things, instead of pointing out what they really like.
After all, it has taken the band almost 7 years to make this album, and the first comments they get is pretty much "this sucks".
I would've nerdraged even harder then Danny did.
