I have to say I at least find these kinds of names easy to ignore, while some
stuff just makes me cringe, and honestly negatively affects how I respond to
the music. As should be clear, I'm not a fan of called everything "tran/p" and
"MOAX 4", but, well, my counter-example would definitely be Locust. What is UP
with 'Truth is born of arguments'?? 'The Love You Cruelly Gave Me Would Not
Last'? 'I Feel Cold Inside Because Of The Things You Say'? ... reading those,
looking at the cover and then checking out the music, I really hope the
packaging is just a piss-take. Still, there's not even Morrissey level wit to
indicate he's not entirely serious.
So I guess all I'm really saying is that if someone's inspiration is something
I find obnoxious, I'd prefer not to find out about it and let the music say
its own thing.
Re: this being elitism or back seat driving, I think it's good to be honest.
I'm not telling anyone what to do, I'm saying what I don't like. That's a big
difference, IMO.
