In defense of Gwen? Not so much.

Matthew over at Fluxblog has given a very well reasoned defense of the new Gwen Stefani solo disc. I have already gone on the record as saying that I think the disc is a stinker aside from a few bright spots, one of which sounds like a New Order track.

Then I found out the track I liked that sounded like a New Order track should since Peter Hook plays the bass line on it!

Anyway, Matthew has made a really well reasoned defense. I still don’t agree with him or like the album all that much – and don’t really consider myself a rockist so much as a rock and/or roller (and yes there is a difference) – but his writing is, as always, rather impressive.

I wish more rock crits were like him. And Paul. Oh yeah, and me!
