Playing music, first and foremost, should be FUN, and that's something a lot of rock bands have forgotten. They're not the greatest musicians in the world, but these are fun, catchy pop rock tunes played with a lot of passion, and with tongue firmly in cheek.Some of the bad reviews seem to be motivated more by image and the desire to look cool than anything. Forget about the magazines like Spin or Blender, pay no attention to the whiney-ass Pitchfork Media crowd, and just listen to what you enjoy. Music is music, and it's all good. And for the record, I'm a guitar player, and C.C. DeVille is nowhere NEAR as bad a guitar player as he's made out to be. He's...
