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

It seems even when I agree with you, you still want to disagree with me.

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

^ At least we agree on our ratings for Genesis and Gentle Giant.

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

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.

Again, I'm not accusing you of anything. If I started rating much lower than yourself a band that you love, you'd probably say the same thing, I hope.

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.

my "old antics"? What does that even mean? 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. ![]() ![]() Just sad that you rated Nucleus rather low, that's all.

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.

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

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.

^ 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.

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

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 rated albums you disliked with 3 stars. What am I to think when you've done that?! ![]() |

A 3-star album is still a good album, but I prefer their 4-star live albums.
