Constant hostility towards Curve

You know the ignorance of so called music
reviewers and critcs, continues to both astound and disgust
me.<br><br>Reading a review of a recent Playstation game, no need to
name it we all know which one, on which Curve appear
as part of the soundtrack, the reviewer referred
to,<br>"the constant wailings" and to Curve being a
"post-sub-Garbage".<br><br>When will those thicks who call themselves music
critics ever get it into their thick skulls that Curve
came long before Garbage, therefore could not have
been influenced by them. If they ever care to do any
research they will see this on any discography site or
music site such as 'allmusic.com'. <br><br>We all know
that Garbage came after Curve, and Garbage were
directly influenced by Curve. So how can music reviewers
who like Garbage, hate Curve? Garbage have nearly
copied Curve's sound to the minutetest, on some tracks,
and though Garbage do sound rather good, they will
never be as good as Curve. But that brings me back to
my point, if Garbage admit to liking and being
influenced by Curve, and they do, Butch Vig is a huge
fan,(as is Robert Smith of the Cure and Billy Corgan,
among others) then how can critics be so hostile
towards Curve, maybe it's because Toni is too god damn
sexy for them, and she gave them her cold stare
routine which must have fazed them at an interview!

Just to add to my previous mail. I think they(the critics) also know that Toni is much more intelligent than Shirley Manson, without any disrespect to Shirley,...

OK. I have the From the Hip lp and it's really pretty good. If you are running up this against Recoil, you obviously like the electronic side of things. FTH is...
