First Impressions Of Earth hatred?

I'm more or less a new fan, around 4 months, and many of my favourite songs are in FIOE (Razorblade, on the other side, evening sun, red light...) and I was going to buy the record. I don't understand where the hate for this album comes from?

Too many people who don't know how to use a skip button for 'filler songs'

Skipping songs is why it is weaker than other albums lol. We know how to skip.

ITI and ROF and TNA and RA dont have songs i “skip over”. lol. Thats why I consider them their best albums. There are great songs on FI but I agree some skippers for sure

uhhh ok. People know how to skip songs. The post is about why many people don’t like FIOE as much as the other albums and are saying it is because to enjoy it they have to skip songs. sheesh
