    Jim DeRogatis: World's Greatest Music Critic? Perhaps...

    Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 12:08 AM


    So our very own Assembly member, slow motion, found this article earlier today. Chicago Sun Times writer Jim DeRogatis made a very WELL-informed judgment about Third Eye Blind in it, and seeing as how we've all got a little piss and vinegar running through us right now, I thought we'd all give him our feedback on it. Here's the link, thank slow motion for finding it:

    My deepest apologies if you wanted to be the first one to nail him, some of the Assembly have already started tearing him a new one, lol. Have at it!

    The comments everyone left (on the actual article) just made my night. Couldn't have said it better myself. And come on, Creed? Really? CREED?!

    How dare he put Third Eye Blind and Creed in the same sentence.

    He obviously has no idea what he is talking about.

    Haha, I already left him a nasty message last night.
    (I swear I tried to keep it as tasteful as possible, but c'mon, YOU try keeping your composure while having to endure that face during the entire response, lol.)
    And The Feelies are garbage, if you get a chance here, check out "Time Is Right" and then "Nobody Knows". He's all over these 2 songs' nuts, and they SOUND THE SAME lol.

    Time is Right


    Nobody Knows - *Time Is Right (acoustic version, haha)*


    Off-topic:
    Does my username REALLY not allow people to correctly quote me? I'll look into changing it back to God of Wine if that's the case, and sorry for all the previous hassle trying to read through posts if it's affected anyone.

    After further reflection and after hearing some songs by The Feelies, I have to say I tend to agree with Jim. I haven't actually realilzed until now how awesome of a band The Feelies are and how terrible Third Eye Blind is. Why did Third Eye Blind even get back together anyway? They're a disgrace to music, nay, I will go further. They are a charade. Always have been and always will be.

    You are joking right?

    Loved watching that guy get slammed. What a joke. The Feelies sound awful! I'm always shocked at how INCREDIBLE music like Third Eye Blind gets tossed aside like a dirty rag.

    Ahahahhhaa,

    Also--this guy probably has never seen vagina, or heard of its greatness. Same with music. He's a pile of slop that has a Sun-Times blog and doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.

    Haha I got mad for a minute but reflecting on it I realize I should feel sorry for this ugly bag of fat.

    My comment:

    "Here's the deal. I'll make this quite simple.

    Don't blame Creed for it's shitty lead singer. The rest of the band could play circles around most musicians in that genre of music today. Go listen to Nickelback, then listen to Creed. Which one sucks more? Exactly. Nickelback is the complete package of suck, Creed just has one shitty member. Alter Bridge, anyone?

    And now on to the real point: Third Eye Blind.

    Ever listened to one of their albums? Hell, have any of the people who agreed with you in comments listened to any of their albums? Bumble-gum pop? Never Let You Go is about the only pop-like song they've ever written. If that's what you call pop music, then you clearly know very little/nothing about music in general. Next you'll tell me Megadeth is pop, and Backstreet Boys are straight-up hip hop stars.

    3eb never broke up, never stopped playing shows to sold out crowds, and never stopped actually connecting to their fans in some way. That's why we're all here, telling you that you really need to actually LISTEN to the music you take shots at. It's not nice to follow trends and just bash bands because you saw other people do it.

    What you need is a sharp knife, son..."
