Released today :

^ It’s a first listen impression, and our criteria may vary.

^ Having listened to it a second time, my view has not changed. For a time-effective way to sample the release, I'd recommend listening to the second long track:

What I got so far:Big Big Train: The Likes of Us - 8 (could be a 9, album is really good)

^ the bad thing about generative AI is that the generated content often isn’t correct.

^ Moyan, are you using AI programs to produce such content?

I'd much rather reviews in your own words that express your specific feelings of the albums than such produced or lifted content. And I think that personal touch helps with discussion here.

EDIT: Like how much of those kinds of posts come straight out of your brain (say based on your impressions of listening to the music)? I so wish that I could be confident that the PA forum is a refuge from AI generated content. I don't think it adds value to a discussion forum and I hate it for personal reasons.

^ I did not accuse you of it, I asked whether it was the case. Mike brought up the idea of AI generated content a few posts up in response to you. I have wondered myself if it might be, and so I asked you if it was. What do you expect me to prove? Could you prove your location as listed, for instance?

By the way, people have been saying that you should be banned because you are Svetonio, something you deny, I was not fully convinced despite the major similarities until this response as I have seen this same attitude, phrasing, and defensiveness from Svetonio (or Svet clones). You have been flooding and I do believe that you have not been forthcoming. I am suspending you, and some have told me that I should have done it long ago, but I genuinely do believe in trying to give people the benefit of the doubt. More fool me. Svet or Svet clone, I don't care. Please control yourself and stay away for good this time. It was obvious from the moment you started posting that you were a past member, and I was at least convinced that you had been banned multiple times before (even the avatar gave it away). I do believe in giving people more chances, but some will never change or be willing to change.
