I absolutely LOVE how some of the people on this board who were giving the people against keeping the STP name shit are now the ones bitching about the name of the band on the forum. Unbelievable. As you all were saying at the time, "it's just the name, fucking deal with it".
For some people, myself included, this is no longer STP. Nor will it ever be. It would seem as if Rik and Ivy are in that group as well, but it doesn't mean we don't belong on this forum. I'm gonna listen to this EP like the rest of you, and I bet they will too. Even though it's no longer "STP" to me, it's still 3 of my all-time favorite musicians, so I'm gonna continue checking out their music, even if they're releasing it under a name I don't support. Maybe they can put something out that will bring me back and remind me why I love these guys.
Out of Time is blah. We've been over this. It's great stuff again from the DeLeos and Kretz, and acceptable stuff from Chester under a time crunch. I'm expecting more out of the EP being they've now put in months of work for these 5 or 6 songs. Plenty of time for the band to gel and Chester to come up with some better ideas lyrically. I won't be holding my breath though, much like I won't be for Scott's new record with the fuckabouts.
What's that saying about a whole and the sum of its parts....
