i must confess i'm in love with my own sins

I don't have really strong feelings about Folie A Deux, except that I enjoy the second half better than the first, but the review at LiveDaily amuses me. Because a) there's no real depth or explanation about why the reviewer thinks it's not good, and b) the reviewer clearly doesn't understand how to use the word "latter" appropriately.

lmao I love bad CD reviews. I remember reading Rolling Stone's review for Sam's Town, and they rated it poorly, but all the reviewer got on the band for was trading guyliner for mustaches. THAT WAS HIS ENTIRE CRITIQUE.

Usually a bad review means I'll like a CD, and a rave one means I won't. Like, Rolling Stone loved all over the last Eagles CD, and it was SO BORING.

Also, CLEARLY, removing the eyeliner to escape the emo label means your music must be shit.
