Personally, I think they are yanking your chain to create controversy and some badly needed attention and it seems to be working – a petition?
I say just ignore them and let them have a crappy sounding record – it won’t be the first time and likely not the last. |
I am afraid you are right.
Maybe they view themselves as the new Kinks ... discovering distortion again?



Luckily a non-smashed version of the album made it out.
