The Importance of Critical Response

I feel like barely anything that you had anything to do with didn't get second and third records. I think it all recouped. My boss at the time Bob Krasnell really believed in me and we got great critical response on everything. And he was a big fan of critical response. If you make great music, the people will come. Do you believe that to be true after all your years in the past? I believed it then. I don't believe it now. That's real. Did little pumped at any critic ever like little pumped? If they did, they were like a white dude who worked for Vice. Anybody invited him to a party or some shit.
