Alright, I know it’s exaggerated, but as tacky as they are, I like E,L&P :) Regarding characterization, you can characterize a piece in many ways without compromising its pleasantness. In my opinion, of course!

Okay, then I'll try to listen to it again. How does one treat this illness?

I listened to this album once. I didn't like it. Am I sick?

Ole, I want to say that noise in itself is not a virtue. Sister Ray is beautiful, but in my opinion it’s the excessive noise that ruins it. Otherwise, it would be a fantastic piece by the Doors. As for Third, yes, you’re right, it’s much more elegant than E,L&P.

Pixies, there's something that annoys me about Scaruffi: for him, an album is good if it contains noise. In his review of the Beatles, he says: while the Velvet Underground composed 20-minute suites of noise, the Beatles stuck to three-minute songs. Now, no offense to the Velvet Underground, great band and all that, but is it really a virtue to create suites of noise? Is music beautiful if it's pleasant and emotional or if it's sophisticated and brilliant? I think that using noise to make music can also serve to mask a lack of compositional skill. Do you agree with me?

Review from a little professor, cold and unfriendly. The emotions?

In my personal opinion, the other three tracks are jazz wankery—nice, but still wankery. The jazz version of E,L&P, if you will. On the other hand, Moon in June is a masterpiece, ever-changing and exciting. The review, forgive me, but I’m getting tired of reading it. Oh, one thing, I’m listening to Twelfth Night—who likes them?

Xyz, could you please avoid swearing? Referring to the Genesis with Gabriel as "scum" is perhaps worse than "Honor to the assassin of John Lennon." What is it? Have we become a nation of blasphemers? :-D
