Aw, you guys, there's no need to get worked up over the article. Yeah, the wording was a bit annoying, but that's what critics do- they explicitly share an opinion, whether it sounds harsh or not. And it's usually harsh to some degree. Not everyone's gonna absolutely love Diru, and if someone finds them bland and shares it, so be it. Not everyone is going to praise them to high heaven.
It'll be oookay. XD The article was mostly just Deftones pimpage, anyway. It can't be helped if the opening acts were brushed off by the writer, but it happens.
So yeah- can't remember if anyone's mentioned or not, but is anyone else going to the Minneapolis (aka not Minneapolis, actually Maplewood) show? : D
