Yeah, he shits on Ringo for "struggling to fill the space." Because the only good drummers are those who FILL EVERY SPACE WITH DRUMS AT ALL TIMES.

Sorry, but when your playing is so, let's say, uncreative, you're not in a position to say shit about fuck.

That guy's a shitty writer and his opinions about music, at least based on that one piece, are almost completely wrongheaded (not gonna get into the Ringo thing 'cause I fucking hate the Beatles, but the other bands he talks about, he's basically 180 degrees from reality). That said, I'm not a big fan of Blackman's myself. I saw her at a traditional jazz gig years ago, backing Pharoah Sanders, and she got completely lost when her solo came around, had to basically claw her way back into the tune - it was almost painful to watch/hear. And in recent years, I think she's tried way too hard to be Tony Williams, without coming anywhere close to his precision and timing.

Not being Tony Williams is a bar that like 99% of drummers won't clear

That moment when you wake up in a tunnel of yourself and then all things lost are either adult or millennial. But not one or another. Silence in spurts of manic fervor. Sort by oldest.

haha, that is kinda the best bad review though. i read the whole thing anyway. at the bottom of the page i read "Yes, they're Dockers." and i actually thought that was the last line of the review. it should have been.

overrating things is good. if you accept the existentialist premise that we make the meaning we find in the world, overrating things is what makes life bearable.
