now see, this is the problem, i think terms like 'overdone' are bandied about far too carelessly right now. i know this is a result of the net, everyone is a critic.
i should point out that i don't listen to the radio. i get all my music either by word of mouth (by far the best method) or by browsing titles and picking one out from a similar genre, etc.. therefore im not as jaded by radio repetition, marketing etc.. and i have to say that i found blue orchid to be EXACTLY cheesy enough for an album that is at best, frivolous, and nonsensical at worst. i dont think that matters, to be honest, because i've never felt the stripes were trying to say anything, but just churning out rawkin riffs with some songs wrapped around them. in that sense, i think sometimes tracks like blue orchid are analysed a little too deeply.
that said, i'm not saying anyone is wrong or anything (i HATE that) i just disagree.
