I can say one thing, but I won't give a rating? Punisher, you're really a complete idiot. Look, this thing where you write crappy reviews and then go around playing the teacher was somewhat entertaining for a while. But now you've pissed me off. With what courage do you come here and give a four when you've written countless reviews worse than this? Get lost, you're such a sad person.

Cassavetes, look, I will be, indeed I am, a pain in the ass (thanks to Odra for putting it into such beautiful words, but he knows how to use words), but I think you should take it easy. You write a triple whammy, worse than the two previous reviews, and you get mad because someone points it out to you? I mean, can you explain the sense in that? Did you read that among the advice before writing a review, there’s one that suggests checking whether someone else has already written one? You don’t care at all? Good for you. But do you realize that there are posts, and one can comment on the reviews and give a rating that goes from one to five? Did you see that I didn’t even give you a rating, and if I had, it would have been one? Or do you think this is a five-star review? Or do you only want five-star comments, like you’re the illegitimate son of Berlusconi? Come on, take it easy, stay calm, coexist with other users, accept criticism and be serene. Because when you write a five-star review, don't worry, I'll give it to you. No hard feelings, as I am a fan of Gena Rowlands.

I don't know, I get that it's not just a triple play, but it seems a bit like a silly thing. The record is a great record, and I agree with the Turk: I find it hard to believe it'll be difficult; it's so simple, and that's precisely where the greatness lies, disarming.

I don't want to argue, so a nod to Gabri, who has a bit of a point, meaning that her interpretation of your review seems correct to me. Otherwise, it means you explained yourself poorly. Let's circle back to Enea because I liked the review anyway, and I prefer it to your old verbosity. Aloha!

I quote Don, who saves me in the corner: I’m not a hippie completist, I’ve never bought it, but I have the one after, baron me cojoni, which is rather ugly, while blow against the empire is a marvel.
Four Tet There is Love in You

Not the album I was expecting, and perhaps not even the one I wanted. As you say in the review, it's been a few years since he's had some Afro and jazzy ideas bouncing around in his head (just look at the DJ set at Plastic People), and here he leaves them behind. He doesn't seem entirely convinced about where he's headed. And he's influenced by a track like "Love Cry," which is truly a standout. So, when the best track on an LP is the first single, you always end up a bit disappointed. Between a 3 and a 4.

A rushed review for an album that deserves more attention. Not so much for the number of listens, but because one of the greatest qualities of the Massive is their attention to sound. This mp3 stuff just can’t be listened to. The track with Albarn, for instance, I've only found so far at 128k; I know very well that when I get the album, it will have a whole different sound. From what I've heard, it's a great album as usual. The least "complicated" and least trip-hop of our guys, but with the customary class that has made them classics outside of any genre. Less depth than usual, a lineup of singers, each one better than the last (how well Hope fits there, who isn't a country singer but still acoustic, in a semi-electronic context, along with the novelty of several male voices) and the usual immense greatness in subtraction rather than excess. Ultimately, it's clear why it takes them so long to release an album: because they spend a lot of time getting to the essentials (not by chance the choice of singers who never overdo it). For now, four stars, but they could even reach four and a half. If it takes them seven years, I'll wait another twenty days.

I can't rate the album yet because I've only listened to it once, even though it came out back in October, and it's not the easiest to digest. I'm really enjoying the new Massive though, and I'm really glad it's not dark. With all the dubstep I've heard this year, I've had enough of gloominess. I'm also eagerly awaiting the remixes that Burial will do for the album. Anyway, I think Burial is a dubstep ahead of everyone. I'm pointing out the new phenomenon Joy Orbison, whose remix for Four Tet seems to me one of the most beautiful things released in the last few months.

A somewhat sublime review: now Travaglio has become a guarantee even in the musical field.
