Our pencil-chewing, critical assessment of this week’s news gets mainly * and *** reviews, among them …
…. Sting v Summers & Copeland over Every Breath You Take, the goose that laid the golden egg
… what John Lennon would have thought about the ‘cancelled’ track on Some Time In New York City
… when did “critically acclaimed” come to mean unpopular?
… the knock-about days when a critic was “a jerk, a crank and a spoilsport”
… Jonny Greenwood’s dad was a bomb disposal expert? Pete Doherty’s mum was a Lance-Corporal in the Royal Army Nursing Corps?
… what matters more, the song or the record?
... Anthony Fantano, Rick Beato and the rise of the YouTube rock review
… “negative comments about a famous act’s new album are like graffiti on the walls of a hallowed institution”
… Bob Dylan’s Self Portrait, Andrew Ridgeley’s Son Of Albert (“half a star”) and the lost age of the crushing review
… and “you never mention Depeche Mode!”
