Plastic not so Fantastic
Deja vu anyone?
The notes and composition sound so promising, only for the delivery to fall short, and I’m talking size 1 haircut here.
Starting to wonder if I should carry on reviewing this house at all since it’s been going from bad to worse so far.
Never been an advocate of the “if you don’t have anything nice to say” adage, but this is starting to weight down because I can just about imagine the sheer amount of work involved in producing a line of fragrances, only for some little arrogant so and so to turn up and stick the knife deep and hard with a final and fatal “Meh”.
Adequately enough, since Sundance is one of the most, if not The most famous annual independent motion picture festival in the US, is the parallel I can draw with my extreme annoyance towards prosaic cinema critics who see fit to slaughter a film just because it doesn’t meet their “standards”, forgetting the yet again, huge workload involved.
So why engage in what is, to my eyes, a reprehensible behaviour?
Well, I guess because ultimately, a review is only the author’s appraisal and not gospel.
Saying “I don’t like it” doesn’t mean “This is crap”.
There is an important difference here.
One is a personal opinion, the other a sweeping statement.
So here goes: I don’t like Sundance by Memo.
It smells more like a second-rate cosmetic product, than a perfume.
Think plasticky pear mixed with eau de sweaty armpits.
A recurring theme in the Memo arsenal it seems, is the one-note-that-tilts-the-whole.
In this case, the shortcut route would have been the best one to take, because less would have been more: minus the pimento and I suspect it wouldn’t be half as bad.
Overall, I have to declare a resonant “No thank you.”
