While I agree with you that some of the criticisms are unfounded and really have nothing to do with the quality of the music the band makes, I also think fans are exactly the group the band should listen to when criticisms are made. Most of us are here because we love the music this band makes, but that doesn't mean we have to love everything they record or support every endeavor they make.
