The rock band Korn sucks and are way too over rated. I mean looking at the guys first glance I though they were a bunch of women, they all look way too feminine to have been singing hardcore music. I am saying this right now that all there songs …

Stay Too Long, for me , shows the more upbeat side of Plan B’s nature. If you think he only does down beat or deep stuff this is a real head lightener for you. It’s bright from the start and dare I say it, chirpy and catchy.

This very first Cranberries album was somehow, never my favourite. Maybe the raw simplicity, or maybe the short songs, I couldn’t appreciate its beauty.
