Yes, idiot, but I’ve explained in many reviews why that genre sucks, in fact, it’s just plain sucks, without the "me."

Mouse, I've always explained why a record makes me hate it, or in general a genre. Go read my comments on the reviews of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Residents, etc. BEFORE SHOOTING YOUR MOUTH OFF.

...and your behavior is even more incomprehensible when we consider the fact that I also like the albums from Dark Side onwards, and I haven't criticized them at all; I've just given the previous albums their due credit. Sorry, but how old are you?

It follows that you understand nothing about psychedelia, that you claim to criticize albums without even having listened to them (as you yourself stated), and that therefore you cannot provide any valid reasoning for your absurd claims. As you can see, I tried to engage in a serious discussion with you, but you are stubborn and it was all pointless. I remind you that we are on a music review site, where discussions are a bit more interesting than just like/dislike.

First of all, you don’t attach any importance to the artistic aspect because you have criticized psychedelia beforehand without providing any reasoning. And then you haven’t mentioned any other aspect. Do you realize how superficial and incomprehensible you are?

In short, what I want to tell you is that if we look at the communicative and sensory side of a record, then it's a matter of taste, even if, as I explained, the early albums provide more emotional insights. If we also want to consider the artistic aspect, still important, in terms of sound and compositional innovations—a more technical discussion that goes beyond simple personal preferences—then there is no doubt that the first albums are more successful. Do you understand??

And what else should we give importance to? I repeat, earlier I made a speech based on feelings, because it seemed to me that this was what interested you; I didn't give you a specific discussion about the historical or artistic importance of those albums. I could have easily told you that The Piper is the decalogue of psychedelia, that A Saucerful has laid the foundations for cosmic music, that Ummagumma has united avant-garde and rock in a completely original way, that Atom Heart Mother is one of the finest examples of the fusion with classical music, but these are more technical data, less personal and more objective that, although important, I preferred to skip in order to give you a speech that was based on the more personal and sensory side of music, which you seem to be looking for. Now, could you kindly tell me what one should look for in an album besides the artistic aspect and what doesn't add up in my reasoning?

Never listened to it.. I have the second one and it’s kind of nice.

Sorry, but music is art; if we don't consider the artistic aspect, what should we look at? Yet, earlier I made a point about feelings, deliberately leaving out the more technical and objective details... oh well...

Alright! I can understand that you like and are more excited about the second period, but you can't say that the subsequent albums are artistically better than the first ones, especially if you don't provide any reasoning and just stick to saying I like-I don't like. This is what I wanted to convey to you. I think we've clarified things. Bye.
