really, dude...look up disappointment and shut up. people are so silly.

My point of contention in this thread has nothing to do with

whether or not one should be disappointed in Van Hunt's new album,

it's the reason why they are disappointed.

There is a difference between the two.

they're disappointed because it didn't meet their expectations, which were subjective and don't need to be justified to you or anyone else; yet you seem to think they do. so you respond in an adversarial and insulting tone. people don't have to like it, and they don't have to like because you see it's merits whether they exist or no.

Peedub, I'm trying to engage in a discussion here. It's really fucking boring for people

to say:

"I'm disappointed in..."

And to leave it at that. If I push hard enough, someone will actually bite and contribute

to us having a conversation about music, rather than enumerating favorite albums and/or

posting Youtube clips.

And yes, opinions, if they are not to be considered stupid, should be able to be

justified. I don't care if you say an album is disappointing; I care about why you say an

album is disappointing.

I come across as adversarial? That's not my intention but I cannot control your perception

of me and won't waste time worrying about it.

I only like pre 1997 Mary. After Share My World wasn't really feelling her. Shoot wasn't really feeling Share My World.

Life is too short to be this combative on a website. Life's too short. I think we've all shared our thoughts in a way we are all comfortable with. Maybe someone else will engage you in a tit for tat but.........
