RE: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy
Dearest dredg,
“To be honest, I was expecting the new album to be questionable, given the interviews with band members stating that it is a totally different direction and produced by Dan The Automator, who's other work I don't like at all. But, upon hearing "The Thought of Losing You", my confidence rose up again, as I feel it is a wonderful, beautiful song. Unfortunately, after hearing the whole album one time, I've gotta say TToLY is the only song I like. The rest of it is atrociously awful.”
“Weak on a number of levels.”
“I feel really sad... Does the cover signify that they knew they were ruining something that had potential? ...that they knew they were creating a monster that tramples butterflies, stabs unicorns, and drowns dolphins? I need a hug. I'm going to go bury my face in some generic dubstep until Dredg puts out their ‘Apology Album.’”
“This is their St. Anger. dredg is my favorite band, but this album is simply wasted talent.”
“It’s true that it’s not ALL horrible (much of it is though), but when there are hundreds of generic ‘indie rock’ bands to choose from, why would a band that has made beautiful, epic works of creative art in the past reduce themselves to that?”
“The Tent is the worst thing I've ever heard from a band I love.”
“Wait a minute, dredg is just a kinda-80s-sounding pop band? I guess I really wasn't familiar with dredg.”
“I've been a fan since Leitmotif, and I'm all for you expanding in new directions, but I can't get behind this single. The lyrics are just bad. It hurts me to say it because I love your band, but they are bad. ‘Today, today is a new day, put the pain away, today.’ You guys are better than this.”
“this is straight dog shit....”
“Yea, what happened to this band? It's like they weren't even trying. I knew something was up when they announced the album was going to be called Chuckles & Mr. Squeezy.”
“Hard to believe this is the same band that made El Cielo”
“This is dredg, but this isn’t the creative, emotional, progressive, thought provoking dredg I fell in love with.”
“It’s almost as if dredg said ‘fuck it, let’s stop busting our asses making this thought-provoking, progressive rock and lets just pound out a ton of straightforward pop-rock songs.’ And honestly it was the single worst decision they ever made. It’s a huge fucking shame.”
With love,
