Anyone else feeling this way? (about Joe Story)
There are many problems and discussions surrounding this project, such as the censorship of swear words, changes to the songs, the exclusion of some tracks, Will's religion, etc. But speaking of something else entirely: did anyone else felt somewhat excluded by Will on this album? I'm referring to his statement posted by his friend (Billis) on Discord. The part where he says:
"when I was making this my only concern was making something for people who had never encountered the album and were hearing it for the first time, I didn't make it for anyone who already knows the album. "So it's funny that all of the vented irritation is coming from a segment of the audience Will considers to be "not who it's for". he also said that part of the reason he took out the profanity was that so "it could be checked out from the library"
Leaving the library part aside, did anyone else feel a bit disconnected/left aside by the statement "not who it's for"? Like, it's a 10-year anniversary special, it should also dedicate a bit more to those of us who were there from the beginning and who followed the band's entire trajectory and original material (especially from ToD). In this Will's speech it seemed like the "album" was targeted to new people listening to CSH while the old fans were a bit left aside.
No hate towards the band or Will, I still love CSH, I love all the members and will love them forever, this band changed my life ❤️
