There's no mystery in that review - while he admits Moz has his moments - he also thinks he's boorish, plodding, spiteful, narcissistic, self-pitying, erratic & grudging.
Thing is though - it's those kind of reviews that make sensitive artists harden & retreat behind a veneer of wounded vanity.
There's no constructive criticism - nothing he can take & build on, just put-downs.
I sometimes moonlight as a critic & I treat it like feedback, so there's something they could do about it if they agreed with my point.

I straighten up, and my position is one of hope.
I do and I agree, and I even relate somewhat. It’s a nasty web to be stuck in.

Dalton, another "NME" trench-footer. Brylcreem..? Moz has never had a lick of Brylcreem near his quiff.
That Troxy show was amazing. The place was like an old Art Deco spiv haunt, with dinner tables and mezzanines. And a Brixton chaser.

I think, as was suggested by FWD a few days ago somewhere on here, it's just block and ignore, block and ignore, block and ignore, block and ignore... Not easy to do, but worth it!

Yes, and I’ve gotten better at ignoring it all, just scrol past with no interest in giving my attention to negative (anti-Moz) posts.
But that they’re still allowed doesn’t help make the site be what it could be.
It is was it is though.

Aye, but, in the end, somebody always has to be Diana Ross.
And í don't have the hairspray these days. FWD has a natural bouffant í hear...
