The marriage analogy in the review

A review of the new album :

Interesting, if only for what he says on Tatewreck...

boy, he doesn't sound like a "shy guy" at all.  Wonder how he really feels about FU?

[me7]

It's difficult to take the review seriously because the writer clearly dislikes Tate. I feel the same way but some paragraphs are equal parts about Queensryche and Tateryche, even though the latter have no business being mentioned in this review at all.
Anyway, I'm excited for the album.

The thing is, FU is so bad, the description he gives the album and Tate are warrant with that disaster of an album.

[Orbert]

Maybe true, but this was a review of the new album, not FU.  Mention it, talk about possible confusion, say it was bad if you want, but then drop it and review the new album.

Sorry, but I clearly understood it was a review of the new Todd-fronted QRalbum, and I'm not even English. It's even in the title. But maybe I don't get what you mean, being non-English as I am?

What I mean is that he spent way too much time talking about FU.  There's no question that it was a review of the new self-titled album, but if it is, then why spend so much time slamming on Geoff's album?

The "confusion" I mention is that he does have to point out that Geoff released a Queensryche album recently as well, and that there will be some people who don't understand all the background behind the two albums and the two factions.  So there can be confusion.  I didn't mean to imply that people are confused about what album he's supposed to be reviewing.  I'm just thinking there might be some people wondering why there's another Queenryche album out already.

That said, he was supposed to be reviewing the self-titled album, and given that, he basically reviewed both.

[me7]

It also seems like he had decided to give it a positive review even before he had listened to it, just to spite Tate and say how much Tateryche sucks compared to Queensryche.
The review is funny, but I'm unsure whether it's honest.

Get it! Yep, he could have refreined from reviewing, sort of, the FU album.

Yeah okay, that's fair enough.

He fits the band right enough, without sounding like Tate too much.

Nice he actually reviewed the album and judged it on its own merits, rather than relative to Tate's album.

[Orbert]

And he says pretty much what one could expect.  It's short, which can be good and bad.  Individual songs sometimes feel like they could've had a little more room to explore the ideas.  That kind of thing.  But also that it's strong overall, which is nice to hear since all we've had so far are peeks, and obviously the band is going to leak the strongest material first.
