I can't think of an instance where I've given a 3-star rating to an album I dislike. If I don't like an album, then I generally give it a 2-star rating, or in the case of Robert Wyatt's dreadful "End Of an Ear" album, a 1-star rating.

you've admitted yourself 3 stars is a low rating (for you). Now you say you didn't. Way to confuse people. Ouch

^ If I've given an album a good star rating, then it's still a pretty decent album in my view, but I wouldn't rush out to buy it.

A 3-star rating for me means "good", or to be more precise, good enough to want to listen to the album again but not good enough to want to rush out and buy it.  I think I've heard you use the term "pretty decent" too  in the past to describe a good album. Smile

Yeah, but to me "decent" is harsher than your take on it. If i ever used the word "decent", it less positive than yours.

Now we're getting into semantics, or are you just up to your old antics? The next thing you know, you'll be accusing me of "trolling" again.  Tongue

I'm not accusing you of trolling (not in this situation), just trying to understand your ratings. 

Well, it seems you're accusing me of something here. LOLConfused

Just sad that you rated Nucleus rather low, that's all.

I believe I was scrupulously fair with my Nucleus ratings, bearing in mind I gave a 3-star rating to all of their studio albums and a 4-star rating to all of their much better live albums. My only criticism of their studio albums is it's hard to differentiate one album from another as they all sound very similar. Confused

If I started rating much lower than yourself a band that you love, you'd probably say the same thing, I hope.

I've just taken a look at your Special Collaborator ratings and needless to say, I definitely disagree with your dismal 1-star rating for Peter Panka's Jane. Tongue

Special Collaborator ratings? You're reading something wrong there. They're just ratings. 
I know we disagree on that.

How so? 
I like Gentle Giant.
As for Genesis, I'm sure our ratings would be different for certain albums.

I don't want to disagree with you, that's ridiculous, but I just happen to have a different opinion, that's all.

I can see now why you disagreed strongly with my exemplary 5-star rating for Peter Panka's Jane, when you've given them a desultory 1-star rating. Confused

We're off topic in your thread, but it's not my fault. 
If you want to talk about Jane, we can go to the German prog thread.
