Eh, that's what they'd like you to believe, but that was the old model. The modern movement now is essentially a de facto gender-fascist machine masquerading as a women's rights movement that champions at all costs extreme political-correct causes such as gender-based affirmative action for women (not exactly "equal rights,") elevated and unprecedented legal leverage for women (which automatically puts men at a disadvantage in rape cases,) the scaling back of free expression (dictating topics that artists/entertainers can and cannot address in a free and open society, e.g., Iggy Azalea's accent/singing controversy,) extreme gun control and other far left issues.
Don't get me wrong, I and most sensible Americans advocate things like reproductive/abortion rights, LGBT rights, equal pay for women in the workplace, etc., but today's movement is too much a Tea Party of the far left who, in mafia-like fashion, go after those deemed to have strayed from the pack by criticizing the movement, a la the situation Kelly Cuoco found herself in recently when she very honestly and simply commented that she enjoys cooking for her husband. (Lana Del Rey is [very?] clearly a satiric persona but it was still easy to make an example out of her.)
Well, this just about settles it -- Koz is a 40-something-year-old troll with really nothing better to do with his time than to bully more successful musicians.
While I'm sure it is largely a publicity ploy on his part to draw more attention to his latest release, you don't just behave in a way you fundamentally disagree with -- there's a sick part of him that clearly gets off on being a bully, waiting eagerly for a response and starting the cycle again.
Meredith Graves, even with all of the projection in her thesis/rant, did make some rather prescient remarks about Koz, it seems. What a lonely man he must be.
No, that still goes to War On Drugs. Adam Granduciel commented at the end of an interview and obviously sounded like he was just venting. Not taking the high road would have been going on a Twitter rant like some teenager.
I'm liking it a lot more through this second listen. The album is definitely a grower, for sure. Although I don't like how all the drum beats sound the same...
I don't get why people like her. She isn't a very good singer... Her voice is nice and she hits all the notes, but she sounds so scared and nervous, like a deer suddenly caught in the headlights.
Video Games does have a great melody, though.
