I guess, there were some good reasons for it - even it would be good for me to know, but then again, I have some ideas about the different possibilities.

It would help if I knew what you meant as I'm completely baffled at the moment.

Yes, I agreed with Nick that album reviews are always going to be subjective by their very nature, and what's wrong with that, I'd like to know, because here I go again....

Nothing would be wrong if you just stated your opinion.

The problem was that Nick's comment very obviously distorted/was lying? about what I previously had stated about the subject.

Which was

If to define "objective" as "having existence outside the mind", should rating criteria like production,

song writing, originality and perfomance not be considered then as objective?

I can tell about my own point of view that I distinguish between these criteria mentioned here themselves and a raters evaluation of them.

The criteria themselves are at least to a certain degree objective, as defined here, but a rater's evalution of them/rating wil always be

to a certain degree/mostly? subjective.

^ My objective in writing an album review is always to be totally subjective with a fair sprinkling of humour thrown in for good measure too. After all, who wants to read a purely objective review, if that were even possible? Ermm

Another thing is that you knew, I wanted Nick to stay away from me, while praising his comment, you

supported him in not doing so.

Possibility for "a purely objective review"?, is that what you get from me writing "but a rater's evalution of them/rating wil always be

to a certain degree/mostly? subjective."?

I'll leave you to continue with your objective/subjective debate on your thread while I make some new Beginnings here with Steve Howe's albums tomorrow, although I can expect some Turbulence along the way. Smile

No, "Turbulence" is the title of one of Steve Howe's albums. Wink

We must hope for my goodwill, as I'm not sure what to think about your answers. Wink

I've always believed it's much better to be criticised than to be ignored completely, is it not? Wink

I have no axe to grind with either of you. Nick and I have often disagreed in the past, but this time I agreed with him, so credit where credit is due.
