..and plenty of beautiful and not-so-beautiful company, discounted groups, unknown groups, various trash and misunderstood geniuses; And considering that I listen to everything: jazz, blues, metal, hard rock, progrock, fusion, soul, techno, electronic, classical, funk, experimental, etc., but also numerous highly commercial songs that still have the magic or the eternal trick of "catching" our beloved ears - I affirm that:

Almost 4 months have passed since the last comment. The album and especially the theme that has inevitably developed lead me, after reading everything in your posts, between musical blasphemies, typical celebrations from fanatic fundamentalists, classic desecrations from those who want to be against everything and always fanatical about the more technical, fast, and extravagant musicians, after reading decalogues, balanced opinions or not, provided that:

I don't have the album in question, but in the past, I absolutely wore out one of their live performances that was incredibly intense. Great Kinks. "You Really Got Me" timeless atomic bomb!

I could perhaps understand some initial commercial difficulties, and not only, for the album Six, despite the beautiful single Legacy having immediate chart hit potential, but Attack of the Grey Lantern was a record that had all the right elements to break through internationally, not just in England. Ignorance, mass media...

In fact, I consider public consensus not only commercial success but also simple word of mouth, impromptu debates, chatter, the consideration understood through widespread comments among people, popular consensus in the broadest sense of the term. Clearly, the promotion by record labels has a huge influence in this regard, which in the case of Mansun has not been as massive as with the many plastic bands that plague us.

Yes, I was referring to public consent and well... it's an old story. Regarding the subjectivity of beauty or rather the value of an artistic creation on a hypothetical meritocratic scale, I am not very democratic, despite being a very open person: beyond a certain threshold of significance, the subjectivity of preference and taste diminishes, and objective and absolute beauty, universal, asserts itself. I don't know if I made myself clear.

You've hit the target yourself, in the sense that you’ve struck exactly the mark with this review. Perfect. A masterpiece album that literally entranced me years ago. Six is a kaleidoscopic and risky masterpiece, Attack of... is a more linear and straightforward album, but also a masterpiece. Albums and band are highly underrated. Anyway, the best always die or break up.

...and regarding the issue of multiple reviews, I think it would be better to have a maximum of a couple for the same album, with overall assessments potentially far apart, one that criticizes, one that praises, with intellectual honesty. Too many, as in this case, are just dispersive. For the sake of consistency, I will go read the first 2 on Grace.
