You are right...there is no insult " encryption"Smile
 
I guess I felt it was a bit too absurd. I wonder how may times he /she actually listened to Relayer.

couldn't agree more with that review... and i'm sure that many others out there do so...
-music is like pornography...

sometimes amateurs turn us on, even more...

Yes I suppose the review itself is fine, but I think most would agree that if you think that way, you just don't  "get it".

No, if you think that way, it's because...you think that way. Don't judge personal opinions as just consequence of people "don't gettin' it"... I'm tired of that phrase, it was used against me when I supposedly "didn't get" the bullsh*t of the year, and I learned that the only truth behind negative comments is, either you actually didn't hear the album properly, or you actually don't like it. "You don't get it" sounds like we're assuming people that DO "get it" are special or geniuses or something... No... THEY ARE NOT, WE are not. It's just a different taste.

I have a problem with Pantagruelcruel's recent VdGG reviews.

It's not because I don't agree with his rating, but that fact he repeats the same words for 3 or 4 albums.  They really don't say much about the music.  I say keep his longest one (H to He I believe) and delete his others.

Maybe it's just me...

Not at all, I've stated that's not the case.

Besides, they're not all 5/5, I'm objective about these things. Wink

No, one of their albums is a 3.5, perhaps even two of them are. Wink

Of course not, I've always been objective about their releases.

The Aerosol Grey Machine is a 3.5
The least... is a 4
H to He is a 4.5
Pawn Hearts is a 5
Godbluff is 4.5 possibly 5
Still Life is a 5
World Record is a 4
The Quiet Zone is a 3.5
Present is a 4

So no, I'm not slipping.  I can easily be objective about it.

hey I agree Relayer sucks like a black hole, the only good thing about it is the cover art .

PINK FLOYD — Wish You Were Here
Review by Baube3 (The Real One)

5%20stars Shine On You Crazy Diamond : 12/10 Welcome To the Machine: 10/10 Have A Cigar: 9/10 Wish You Were Here: 9/10

If you make the average, you have 10/10...

I think it's clear... Wish You Were Here is my favorite album from my favorite band ever, and SOYCD is one of my top ten favorite songs ever listened.

I have nothing else to say since you probably own this album... and if you don't... I think there is something wrong in your life (No offense, it's just a fact)

What are you waiting for ? Stop to read and go buy it !

Why has this been moved here? I just reported an inappropriate review as always... I don't understand... Confused
