The Scruffs

Pop Manifesto

Scruffsville Records

Stephen Burns has rocked the Scruffs name and made it his own for the past 30 years. This is the one album that makes you wish he would hang it up.

    Suppose everyone’s entitled to an opinion. Couldn’t disagree more though, and a brief search of the web for reviews shows almost uniformly positive comments. Maybe whoever this anonymous person is could stun us with a record of their own ? Or is their talent merely limited to pointless carping.

    Evidently I’m in the minority, but I’m sticking with my review. I listened to the album again and I still don’t like it. I’m sorry you don’t agree, but I’m not going to write a review based on what everyone else thinks. If I did that, then there would be no point in me writing reviews. I’m going to listen to the album and write what I think. I respect your response and encourage more people to write responses to my reviews, both good and bad. Thanks for being an active reader.

    Tim, fair play, 10 out of 10 for not hiding away and replying. Noone expects uniform tastes, and that’s not the point I meant to make. Indeed being a minority doesn’t make anyone wrong, just different, and that’s to be celebrated and defenced in my view.

    I suppose what I should have said if I were being constructive was that one way of encouraging artists to do better is to give some sort of constructive criticism though, not just a blanket “it’s crap” statement. Say what you like but explain why it’s so bad in your view and people’d get more from the review. Anyway, thanks for replying and keep up with the reviews.
