Absurd newspaper article !!!
Two days after their show to the aniversary of VISIONS Magazine in Dortmund (concert house on November; 1st, 2009), the following local newspaper article was published.
I couldn't believe any word of this comment. The artical was a consistent, harsh and of course inequitable critique.
Here it is (german version):
Within the next few days I gonna write a contraindication - and will publish it.
Because Dredg should not be described as this by such a stupid and nescient reporter.

WOW, well....musical taste has always been a subjective thing and if people do not like a certain type of music or band, ok....but the way this is written is just counterproductive...
1. It seems like they took the writer who hates Dredg to write an article about Dredg! Senseless!
2. Way to subjective for an (objective) article...
3. He sucks and we all know it.... ;)

That's the most sorry excuse for a review I've read in some time. Can't believe a newspaper actually printed this. I'm all for critical reviews, noone is forced to love dredg like we do, but statements like "we can't stand them" and "I went during the break" lack any objectivity at all. Reads more like a rant among friends than a newspaper article.
I agree with you and Thorsten.
This "review" seems more like an opinion piece. There is very little critique.
I find it's the same with most music and film "review" these days. Everyone states their opinion, yet rarely do any reviewers clearly state the positive and negative qualities.
Such a shame! -

Whatever I take or drink, I can't get that high to write something like this.
Long Days And Vague Clues and Down To The Cellar are incredible. -

Uh, yeah, it just seems like this guy is taking out his personal frustrations on that article.
But if you want to blame someone, blame whoever published an article with the phrase "the band that we love to hate", I mean, I don't even get this, I always got the impression that Germany loved dredg, I guess maybe this guy just wants to "stick out from a crowd".
Really dumb article without a shred of objectivity, badly written, and I don't even get the "nu-metal" reference, did they play any Conscious EP songs on that show? Highly doubt it.
And how can you insult a dredg concert, dredg is unbelievably good live. Dammit. -

I would have to completely agree with you on this one! I think the more that I do those things the more internal and personal their fantastic music becomes. -

Haha he must have been at a different concert. They were killer in that video (although the chorus of Information is a little rough...what can you do). I've seen them live twice, and it's always an amazing experience more than it is a concert. What was that remark about Dino?? Watching him is enough of a show, that guy's energy is unmatched. Well everyone has his own opinion, but that article is pretty weak and out of place to be so subjective.
