Seriously, never mind catchin' butterflies, I'm surprised that sparrows don't try and nest in there!

I resisted commenting until now but when I got a sarcastic message from the band on my personal myspace I thought I had to say a couple of things. Firstly, I apologise for the minor mistakes on calling the CD a self released EP, which I've been told it isn't. I'm pleased that my review has sparked a bit of debate, and pleased that BC's fans have come out to defend them against this no good hack's opinion. Fair play to them. But,I'm dissappointed in the very defensive and childish response from the band to what is at the end of the day, just my opinion. I could understand if I had written an NME style personal attack against the CD but my review was qualified, basically saying that BC do what they do well, but I don't like it. I find it particularly bizarre that the band complained that I had not been asked to review the album. I wasn't aware that reviewers had to ask bands before they gave them some exposure with a review (good or bad). Maybe I should have asked before listening to it, then they could have told me what to write. I'm not going to get into dissecting previous comments, its very easy to do that. But it shows that BC have serious insecurities about how good they are when they get this hot under the collar about one bad review, and go to such lengths as finding me on myspace and rifling through their archive of reviews to construct a carefully formed counter argument. Please do like your music and chill out. Over and out. Hi, I’m the writer of this review.
