I don't think the write up is too bad at all, it does just highlight that basically she loved u2 up until Achtung baby when she went off them. The only argument I could make and it's nothing to do with entitlement or whatever but are you a fan of the band if you dislike so much of there work or are you just a fan of certain songs and certain albums? Its hard to define what a fan is, for example I like a lot of Radioheads early work but hate pretty much everything after kid a so I suppose I'm a fan of a few of there albums as opposed to a fan of Radiohead. The other argument as well when your giving a professional review is it kind of isn't about you. It's about how the band are performing how the songs are received etc. If I went to a Britney Spears concert (never going to happen) and had to give a professional review I can't really sit and give it 0/5 because I don't like her songs it's about the overall experience of the show putting yourself in others shoes. But again I don't feel like this person was giving an unnecessarily bad review or anything just being honest so fair enough.
It's the comments that bother me. So for example, I personally don't really enjoy Zooropa - if I post that here, on a site dedicated to U2 fans, does that mean I'm automatically going to get chased off the site with pitchforks and torches? If you went onto a Radiohead site and said you don't like everything after Kid A, does that mean you don't deserve to listen to the band? Of course not.
Maybe I'm making too much out of this, but the whole "you can't criticize the things you love and if you do it means you don't really love them/don't deserve them" mindset is really bothersome to me, moreso lately.
gotta love it when he look so happy!
