| At what point did he I start slagging off Meat? The only thing I said was that his album didn't sell well, not that I disliked it or I was glad it failed. Truth be told I liked Hang Cool Teddy Bear and its a shame there wasn't any money behind it to make it do well. People fault the lyrics and the songs which I thought, for the most part, were very fun to listen too. I started the thread because I am genuinely interested to see what he does next. Of course I respect Meat, and when he's at his best I find him mesmerising to watch. At what point do I say anything openly derogative about the man or his new album.
