tinnitus photography Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Exile/Guyville would have made a great single ("Glory" b/w "Stratford-on-Guy") and i suppose it's also responsible for inspiring a great song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think she misses the mark. Where Liz Phair's debut sounded as if she was in control of the whole process, and it all appeared DIY, LDR comes of as a marketing product where she is anything but in control. LDR is resented because of the demographic she's being marketed to, the secondary "alternative music" market. (Anyone remember OK COLA from the 90s? The Slacker cola?) I always find it fascinating the vitriol that some express over music that they don't like. It's not like the young lady went on a killing spree, spit on nuns, or hates puppies...

It's not like the young lady went on a killing spree, spit on nuns, or hates puppies... I haven't seen vitriol. Do you have examples? I've seen bad reviews, middling reviews, no good reviews... Personally, I think she's boring. And lip injections are a really strange decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I assumed we were searching for vitriol on Lana not Liz. There is tons on Liz from her self titled album era. Jim Derogatis tore into Liz pretty good at that point too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was certainly a lot of anger floating around back in the day on the board.I expect vitriol from reviewers to a certain degree...they are the star in their own movie and resent anything that they might dislike in a most disproportionate fashion.
