Well, with the last comment from dear Uncle Pippo (to whom I renew my esteem), I give up insisting on the importance of discerning art from politics, although I do not agree with the interpretation made on Palahniuk's works, but that's another story. Goodbye!

Oh god, searching for the album title actually brings up 4 more, my mistake, sorry, of course the cataloging could use some improvement...

Thank you all for the comments! Regarding the hipster music discussion, I'll leave it to each one's sensitivity to evaluate what is and what isn’t (I try not to think too much about this definition; I limit myself to listening to the records). @Pi: you’re right, but I wanted to avoid becoming too factual, and I also like the Knife quite a bit. Here’s a fun fact: Royksopp in Norwegian is the term used to refer to mushrooms that suddenly sprout from cracks, and by association, this term started being used for Atomic Mushrooms.

The problem is that with the reduction of space for music, reviews now stay in HP for very little time (an average of 30 hours), while films can last 7-8 days. Therefore, there can be some resentment towards albums that are reviewed 2-3-5 times, etc., because they take up space that could be allocated to others that might never be reviewed. That said, it must be acknowledged that the issue is an editorial matter (i.e., decided by the Editors), which probably has its good reasons. So, if someone wants to review an album, I think it's fair that they can do so regardless of the number of reviews already on the same album. Personally, I don’t write reviews about Iron Maiden, even though they're my favorite band, but for other reasons. One is that I would have too much to say about each album, and 500 lines wouldn’t be enough for each review. Another is that, honestly, I don't want to give excuses for people to attack Maiden (not me; I don’t care if I’m attacked) by too many who judge based on preconceived notions. Because saying you personally don’t like them is one thing; denying their historical importance is another, and lately, many on this (by the way, very valid) site have been doing that.
For this reason, I suggest to everyone annoyed by the many reviews on Maiden to A) not read them, B) not limit themselves to searching for reviews in HP and browse through other pages as well, C) at most, subscribe to the Newsletter to be informed about all published reviews. D) If you really don’t like it, talk to the Editors, and who knows, maybe we can arrive at a redistribution between ocular and acoustic in HP.
One last thing, in my previous words about the attitude towards Maiden, there is no direct reference to users who commented on this review, because everyone has used subjective references (I’m pleased to notice that my good friend Alessio did this too, so you give me no reason to bother you because I never contest personal tastes). Hello everyone!

Worse, but if you use the masculine it seems like you're talking about an album, since that was what we were discussing... (how much I love to be a pain...)
