Thanks for writing on this and basically rising to the defense of those
lovable Rangers. Obviously I am going to be biased, being the label, but I
thought the reviewer just "didn't get it". I see many reviews in the local
papers that are similar to this. The reviewer simply doesn't understand the
music and whether positive or negative, it essentially turns out to be a
nonreview.
... and only in America (on P2) do we have the uncommon freedom to review a
review!
Thanks to all who spoke up too! <wiping tear from my eye> I'm beggin' the
boys to let me release "Faces" too.
Down the road,
