Do you play...datsuns a D4 what a load of shit dude. Do you play a instrument do you have any idea what a good song is? This review is by far your worst and I have rather enjoyed your opinions over the last while.<BR/>This album sounds nothing like the d4 or datsuns and is a good album with a good range of styles. " Complete shit" maybe you should air check your own radio show and get an idea if what complete shit is. I agree that this album has its faults but is not complete shit and has some great songs on it and I dont hear many bands out there doing what Autozamm are doing and I think thats why you dont get it. Have more than 1 listen to the record and try and be more open minded. You come across as a typical indie wank student so please get over it.<BR/>Giving RDU a Bad name, i hear Autozamm all the time on your station...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
