The Youtube comments for Blue October’s latest video are a bore. So is the video. Here is a fun fact, the BO street team asks you to write comments on social media for points to earn shit like coffee mugs or stickers, the usual swag. So how can you take it seriously? And actually why are the comments so weak if there is a prospect of free junk?
Lets start with the obvious- four minutes is too fucking long. Ain’t no one got time for that. The video a cheap dash cam travel video with pop up lyrics so the fools can sing along. Why would you showcase such blase’ lyrics anyway? Is this the same guy who wrote things like “James” and “18th Floor Balcony”?
You may ask why I write of BO so often and why I am constantly bashing their latest release ‘Sway’. I’ll tell ya- I have seen these guys live over numerous phases of Furstenfelds life from his Fat Elvis days to his ninja flight vest and this is by far his biggest tank. I had such high hopes for this group but now I realize its nothing more than a school girl diary for the unstable man. I feel ripped off. I expect more because I have had more.
For those of you compelled to respond in defense of the band there are numerous self help groups for you. You’re the tortured enabler girlfriend who crys in the bathroom when your man is drunk and punching the wall rather than packing your shit and getting the fuck out. AlcaNon, NarcaNon, BlueOctoberaNon…meetings in the church basement.
Justin- I’m glad your happy and you keep right on being mega daddy- you duh man. But as for a stable musical career? Yeah, there was a time I honestly believed you’d ‘make it big’, but you wont. Small clubs and radio boat shows aren’t a bad thing. But in your heart you know damn well you’re serving your fans a plate of crap. You’re better than that and you know it.
Wheres my damn coffee cup?
