Its even worse when they have it and dont think of offering a listen to the dedicated fans

Yeah, why not try and guilt the lad into betraying a confidence or to risk his job for dedicated fans to tear it apart and moan like fuck?

Vancouver, I'd love to hear your opinion on the record, if you don't feel confident sharing in the thread, please PM me with thoughts on it!

Yeah I don't blame you for shying away but you're hardly a prick for being sent the album, perhaps just post a link to a review so it doesn't seem like you came here to rub it in our faces.

edit: Also I agree with Tidus, on both counts.

Bad move, people fly to Japan and the US to see the band, this might actually happen.

well done

I haven't read everything in this thread but I think it's OK to write about it, I really like Your access. I've experienced other members talking about promos and they were horrible, but You are absolutely OK.

As long as Donkey doesn't think you are dodgy butcher then I guess it's an okay compliment!

It's complicated but saying that you 'love their access' is slightly bizarre. Don't worry about it, keep up the cute english!

edit: Ah, you corrected it, silly of me not to realise.
