In fact, it’s not a personal attack, far from it.

"In regards to the controversies surrounding duplicates, I believe that the usefulness of Debaser lies in hosting various opinions/reviews on the same albums," the first lines the site asks you to read (and put into practice) when writing a review contradict you.

"If the site deems a review inappropriate, it is perfectly free not to publish it," but no, the site publishes everything as a principle (except in rare extreme cases). The fact that you are ASKED and not forced to follow certain rules, and you choose not to, makes your effort, besides being pointless, annoying. Moreover, if everyone thought like you, this site would be flooded with duplicates, always discussing the same topics, and its usefulness would be lost. Thank goodness there are dozens of users, whom I respect, who think differently than you and continue to work hard to truly enrich this site. As for templare, I recommend going to read the opinions of HUNDREDS of users in the other 63 reviews present; they will find that there is no need for new contributions because everything and its opposite has already been said.

The nice thing, however, is that Starblazer comes here to pontificate from the heights of his musical culture about how crappy the Guns are, and then he defines as epic masterpieces all the shitty albums of Rhapsody with their emerald swords and their fire-breathing dragons. All of this is very beautiful.

In fact, I think that when someone sends a review to this or other sites, they should first consider the usefulness of what they're doing for the site itself and for other users, not their own personal pleasure in writing and publishing a couple of lines about certain groups or albums. For that, you can open your own blog and publish whatever you like. As for this album (which, by your own admission, is horrible), everything that could possibly be said about it (probably even more than it actually deserves) has already been said in the previous THREE reviews and their respective comments, which is why I find your writing and your multiple reviews of Genesis, of which there are already SIXTY-THREE reviews, completely pointless. Giants like Van Morrison or Joni Mitchell (just to name two at random) don't even come close to 25 reviews combined, yet some people are still here indulging in yet another review masturbation about every crap produced by Collins and company that has already been described in countless ways. I'll conclude by quoting the wise words of the great Bartleboom, which I fully agree with: "This site is amazing if and because everyone contributes to it, sharing their musical knowledge and enriching each other. I talk to you about an album you don't know, you talk to me about an album I don't know: only then do our musical horizons expand. There are people here who treat the homepage like a public restroom, where they take numerous reviewer dumps to let the world know (and not very well) that they like bands whose lives, deaths, and miracles everyone is already aware of."

It annoys me because these useless duplicate reviews of yours do not align with what I believe to be the purpose and utility of DeBaser. Moreover, you continue to disregard the first rule that the site asks reviewers to follow.

Is there a need for the spotlight?

Yeah yeah

A review as useful as a ushanka in the Maldives.

<< Check with the DeSearch Engine that the album you want to review is not already present in the magical DeDatabase. If it is, it's up to you to decide whether it's still worth writing a review: maybe yes (you have something else to say), but maybe no. >>
