Doesn't that mean standard and generic rather than crap?


I dunno.
I'm fueled by beer at the moment.

Thing is if you dont like a particular sub genre of prog that swallows up about 10% in one go let alone the bands you have heard in other prog genres that have left you cold on the odd occasion ..  so I come up with a figure allowing for this for me its about 25% I`ll round it to 30%

I've only given one item a 1-star rating, but bands like PsyOpus knocked me up to 10%.

Less than but almost ten percent of my reviews are one star, so I voted accordingly.
