Records that lost their luster

[tyler boutilier]

Are you in jail or do you work at the Olive Garden? Either way I'm sure a lot of tossing and turning of salads takes up a substantial amount of your time even if neither apply. By the way...your Johnny come lately opinion means little to me. However, each retort offers me an opportunity for pick on you....

"Walk Among Us sucks"  is a Johnny Come Lately opinion?

The thread is called "Albums that lost their luster". 95% of the bands discussed so far have been based on Johnny Come Lately opinions.

1600 posts since 2006 when you were most likely in to Dora the Explora more than what you claim as expertise today.

Well CLEARLY I'm not an expert at all, seeing that my opinion on an album (that was brought up on the first page of this thread) is a "Johnny Come Lately" one. An opinion I formed 18 years ago. Perhaps when I turn 90, my opinion will start changing?

Also, you seem to be very obsessed with "expertise" and how long others claim to have it in comparison to yourself. I have a friend in his 50s that brings up
his age every time I put him in his place. "Well, I'm much older than you, Tyler" would not win you any points in a debate setting. "You either have gay jail sex or work at Olive Garden" might get you a few chuckles though.

"Secret Admirer" is like our generation's power-pop "Eruption."  Watch it.

The video for "Secret Admirer" has been viewed nearly 16,000 times.

i actually just watched it before making my last post, because i hadnt heard any of their shit in years and wanted to make sure i wasnt talking out my ass, hahaha.  i guess it doesnt suck, musically its okay but its no david finnerty and the jackals (esp. in the vocal dept!), thats for damn sure.  and where are the keyboards?

That's like showing "Secret Admirer" to half the town of Manitowoc, WI -- or half the town of Galesburg, IL, for that matter. 

Who will help me realize this vision?
