Ann Arbor stand up

chris is an immature prick and I wish I could take back all the money I spent on this band. he has no respect for the fans that give him his income and pay for his privilege to go on tour. calling his fans dumb retards and telling them to fuck off and all the horrible shit he said is completely lacking in respect for the people who keep your music career afloat. he is an obnoxious child.

uh i mean people just randomly asking him about his race is degrading and insulting, it's not like it's a scheduled interview or something it's literally like "hey look this guy is asian he must have a strong opinion about being asian in a predominantly white scene" it's like it's the zoo

not that i know what i'm talking about/not that i know this guy

Extremely insulting. People still do it just to piss him off.

Nice short review Trebor

well it all depends what was said. all he said was "asking about race". in general that isnt insulting. if you threaten to punch
someone because they ask "so where are you from originally?", then you need to fucking grow up. i doubt people have been
going up to him saying "hmmm you dont see many chinky chonks in the emo scene". he probably overreacted and took it to
facebook just to get attention and as an excuse to make a point about white privilege.

"he probably overreacted and took it to facebook"



It was really more suited to his personal page rather than a page which represented the entire band

and which addressed their entire fanbase. He may have been in the right place, but he was so ham-

fistedly ineloquent in his delivery, it made him the bad guy (calling one fan in particular

'retarded' and a 'fuckboy' when he agreed with Chris but suggested a more amicable choice of

wording, for example.) He also looked pretty dumb when he later used the page to post the wikipedia

article for White Guilt as if it's an uncommon topic in social media and when he assumed everyone

who contradicted him was a white male and later discovered they were also minorities.



Anyway, I'm sure Chris would have been more reasonable in different circumstances. Sucks that he

blew up the way he did, and hopefully he finds a bit more peace from the racial discrimination he

tends to face at shows.



Also, album's alright, but "Rekindle" stands out in stark contrast of quality to the rest of the

album.

stands out as good or bad?

Album Rating: 4.5

Good, I enjoyed it much more than the rest. I mean, the opener and title track were pretty good too, but nothing really comes close as a cohesive, enjoyable track.

fuck

"Self-described as the "frat boys of emo", "plop plunk" and "the boy geniuses of emo", Brave Bird of Ann Arbor, Michigan seem as if they are just another run-of-the-mill emo revival band: melodic "twinklecore" guitars, urgent Brand New-reminiscent vocals, confessional lyrics, and they're signed to Count Your Lucky Stars Records."

thank god they broke up

That blurb was written with the presumption that people would have the attention span to read past the first sentence. I guess I was wrong.

miss this band so much

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah, but I don't think this is that bad of an album to end on. Rekindle was by far my favorite track of 2014, probably of the last couple years.
