Man, Army of Anyone fans are a sensitive lot. One fan posted my review of the band's debut -- which wasn't all that negative -- on a message board, prompting another to change my tagline to:
"Robert VerBruggen (http://robertsrationale.blogspot.com) is an apprentice editor at The National Interest in Washington, DC and an antiMusic contributor AS WELL AS BEING A COMPLETE [F---]ING WANKER."
They're not all buffoons, though. One wrote me:
"I saw AOA at the Metro in Chicago last night and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen, trumping every single STP show that I have been to. The energy from the band was unbelievable even though the crowd was completely lame. They ripped through their set playing songs from the new album as well as STP and Filter songs, and they sounded perfect."
My response to this is that I was reviewing the CD, not the capabilities of the band, but at least that's a good point. The record isn't very good, but it might be worthwhile to check out a show to hear stuff from the old bands' better years.
