i can see what the writer is talking about, and i don't think it is a negative thing. hear me out. downie definitiely has the instensity and energy of stipe, but he is also very sarcastic on stage or in videos (see Poets and the winks to an imaginary front row).
He bounces all around and offers a lot of corny, sarcastic smiles that are just hilarious to watch. it wasn't meant to be taken as a negative, i don't think. I assume, like me, the writer also appreciates the very humorous side of Gord --- it's actually a good description, in my eyes (and a great review). the Rich Simmons Gord embodies is like a Saturday Night Live version.
