Okay Arnold... all clear. I just wanted to know the reason... then what you said is legitimate even if I don't agree, but try not to see music as a war of prog against everyone because it’s bullshit... at least I think so... then who knows!

Arnold, are you not going to respond to me?

Anyway, this is the best review for this album... and since we're talking about an album and a massive band... well, congratulations to the reviewer. Well done.

s4doll: I’m reopening and closing the discussion. I don’t give a damn about you or the Smashing Pumpkins. This site gives you the opportunity to exchange opinions, both positive and negative... and that’s exactly what I did. Nothing more, nothing less. Honestly, I don’t understand what the problem is. I swear, I try but I just can’t get it. If I don’t like something, since I’m not God, it means that it doesn’t only not appeal to me and there’s no objective reason. If somehow I offended your sensitivity, even though I don’t believe I did, I apologize. That’s the only way I can justify your pointless persistence, and I’m convinced that all this wouldn’t have happened over a beer with good company… so I haven’t offended you and it will never happen because, I repeat, I don’t give a damn about your opinion any more than about others… so: I bury the hatchet because it’s a war that doesn’t interest me and I’m neither capable nor do I like it. What I like, like you, is listening to music and having thoughts about it… if my opinion upset you, tough luck. I’m sorry, but you should try to stay calm… these antics that always happen on this site feel very virtual… things that would never happen in real life because there everyone shows indifference towards others and just gets by. Okay? I hope I’ve poured a bit of water on the fire because I don’t want to be messing around! Regarding the third place... well, I’m sorry. At this rate, I’ll have to face the preliminaries to access the Champions League, but I’m counting on blowing up a couple of farts to get to first place!!! byebye!

s4doll, are you like this because your mom used to hit you with the newspaper or because your dad used to abuse you, you idiot?

@arnold I'm always waiting for your reply.

indeed...however, one in that way gives a simple piece of advice and I find it to be more just. Art, in its entirety, is based on the emotions it manages to evoke and emotions are among the most subjective.

clear...in fact, I believe that music criticism and all other criticisms of art are absolutely useless. They can only be useful when they limit themselves to saying: beautiful; ugly. Then when absurd explanations are given for nonsense, I just piss myself laughing. For example, take Benedetto Croce...a man who has only criticized in his life...useful as a gun up the ass!

Look, I highlighted the fact that they are amateur since everyone expresses their personal opinion. Just for this reason... then it goes without saying that just as there are incompetent reviewers, there are also capable ones, and maybe even really good ones!

"I harbor no hatred towards anyone, it just annoys me when reviews are pulled out of thin air and when pseudo-politically engaged concepts invade music..." That said, that’s all there is to it. Do well. For me, it should be this way... to explicitly talk about politics in a song is an abominable nonsense that can only be done by someone who lacks the ability to abstract. The realm of politics is so vast that if in a song I talk about how nice it is to fart right after waking up... it could still be a political song. Then, when writing a review, one should express a personal opinion (since this is a site for amateur reviews), but it’s also important to provide accurate information as a form of respect for those who may not know what you are talking about!
