Heaven and Hell's debut is absolutely epic, mostly because Dio is on it.

We're All Stars, according to him. Why can't we all just get along?

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Pat:
1) I don't buy the you being alone in this thing, and especially not the no-grudge part.
2) If you wanted to make a serious statement, you should have opened a topic. A front-page review makes 85% of the readers wonder what the hell is it about.
3) Better yet, you could have jumped into the debate, with the arguments you just presented (out of which, only the "adherence to a PA general knowledge shout" is an exaggeration). But I guess you like giving verdicts and pointing fingers, after it's all over.
I'm really curious what's the difference between popular albums with frequent reviews intentionally calling them flawless or ripping them to pieces (which is also a form of interest) - a phenomenon spanning for years already and repeating itself with the occasion of any new such album - and Tony's initial question "how come a 1-star review is reported, while a load of reviews calling it "prog's finest ever" aren't to raise an ounce of suspicion"?

I'm not in the business of reporting reviews so I don't really care.
(1) Wrong
(2) There's plenty of people talking about it now that it was on the front page and deleted isn't there?
(3) I wasn't online until after the discussion was already over so that wasn't an option at any point. And again you act like the review was a lone act with no discussion being caused because of it.

I actually only exist on the internet. Way to be insensitive.

| But see Rico, no review of my album was ever reported. The one star review was reported by the freaking guy who wrote it, which to me sounds like, "Hi everyone! I wrote a one star review! Come and see!"

Of course, we plundered and fought a bunch of countries of the continent, helped totally screw what was the German states, lost a lot of land and men, became an economical, social and technical backwater before we came to the conclusion that peace is rather nice. Was an interesting experiment though.

We had beautiful forests once. But we've started cutting them heavily.

How have the vampires been affected by this? Is WWF working on the case?

But seriously, that's a shame. How are your environmental policies?
