no wonder people get endlessly lost in genres of minute difference - they're not decisive enough to judge an album on its overt musical quality alone. ;)

And what happens if those persons don't have the same superior musical knowledge that you have? Does that mean the music they hear is inferior just because of that?

Yes, and who cares about them anyway? NO COMPROMISES =P

An album is only bad when it is not an original idea and a knock off of someone else's work.

Precisely ;P every time someone asserts that Magma make better music than DJ Dance this ridiculous kerfuffle starts up again. it's regressive, and nothing ever gets said that could possibly burrow a fraction's length into anyone else's mind. so I've decided to be brusque and ignore the silly debate altogether. DJ Dance sucks

And even so a plagiarist work can be good.

Not a bad decision... but the debate is not silly in itself... It's just that it's un-winnable by any of the two sides....

Well, some bands take influences from other bands. I guess that wouldn't be an original idea, but that doesn't make the album automatically bad.

I can listen to Ligeti's Lux Aeterna and love it, but if I give it to one of my music teachers who listens to Mozart and such would hate it to death.
It's all about taste.

^Can't say I'm a big fan of Ligeti either - Penderecki's more my thing when it comes to modern choral music; his St. Luke Passion is amazing - and as for the legendary "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima"...
...I also love Mozart

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

the problem with getting mad at low reviews for "classics" is that it pigeon-holes perceived callsics as well as the great misses (Love Beach being the album I love to hate). I don't mind a one star review for CTTE but I hate when the review is stuff like "this r the worst tihng ive evar heared." I understand English is not everyone's first language, but nearly all of these gramatically atrocious and pointless reviews come from US and UK reviewers while those who might actually have an excuse post coherent opinions.
