| I can't stress to the writers and editors at Fast Forward just how great this little paper is, but by gum, I have to admit that over the past few months I have been irritated at the volume of self-righteous reviews that have appeared in its pages.
From criticizing a movie because one of the actors had rough-looking hands to hating movies just because they are popular to dismissing bands that are from the suburbs, it's all there and it's all pointless. The Ween review says it all – the three latest records are no good because they are more accessible than the previous ones, according to Christine Leonard. I had hoped that the "bands make albums that are actually worth listening to equals selling out" mentality had died in the ’90s, but here it is in Fast Forward.
Now the Video Vulture – there's a guy who knows how to write!
