Perhaps they are great, but with these question marks they look like garbage. If you like it don't give up and keep on going this way.

That makes perfect sense in every plausible realm of thought. What created the universe, oh Metrician?

I can tell you without magic machine that presentation of your reviews is a complete disrespect to readers. If you don't understand that PA is not a garbage collector I hope admins will explain you this in better words.

You're overtly critical of me, lately. I don't care enough about the presentation of my reviews to make any changes during transfer. |
I always present the exact amount of criticism that is necessary. If you don't care about the presentation of your reviews I am not sure why you are writing them.

Which is why I will never be a prog 'fan'. Man, if I didn't like simpler (technically) music, I'd never care for Cat Stevens' Father and Son, which is one of the few songs to ever make me cry. No prog song has done that to me.

I remember it being pretty good, but it should be obvious why prog fans don't care for it especially after First Utterance.

Average at best.
But then again, poppiness is never a way to win favor from me. Sure, it has some good stuff, but overall...average. And I suppose from a prog perspective not too great.

I haven't heard it recently, but I remember that I really enjoyed it and gave it a big thumbs up.  Too bad even the band members hate it. But artists are not always the best judges of their own work.

Iron Maiden's working on a new album? Oh Christ! I'd rather Overkill release something. At least I never had any respect for Overkill. Let me guess, it'll be about horses with guns in space fighting Hitler, the songs will all be nine minutes long, Bruce will be mid-range yelping, the guitars will 'gallop' and it'll have a cover inspired by either a war, a comic book, or a monster.
I've also realized that I have little tolerance for early 1960's jukebox rock (like the first few Stones/Beatles albums). England's Newest Hitmakers, my ass!

Sure, they make every sentence an inquiry. Turns me into the rhetorical machination. Jethro Tull's Heavy Horses is his best in years? Led Zeppelin is terrible? It makes me seem less of an a****le.
