I ignore the record but the writing is very heartfelt... Axel, it doesn't seem to me that it was Macaco who accused you of theft (or "borrowing" as it may be) from Wikipedia. Maybe you meant to refer to the editors... right?

I would say that the subliminal message of the review on the downloads (not so subliminal after all) has been taken quite seriously and with admirable enthusiasm by the readers.. :p Very nice album.. However, I can't quite give it 5 stars. Let's say a strong 4 and up.

But how many comments... For me, living in the debaserian countryside, the chaos of the city is truly unexpected... Therefore, I thank all those who contributed to stirring up, in one way or another, this page, perhaps even considering the idea of listening to these particular (and quite feared from what I have been able to observe) artists :)

Thank you so much, Cornell, and thank you to all of you who dropped by! @Blech: Yes, I think you’re right. LegEnd, as an introduction to the Cows, is perfect; Backdoor, muster your courage and give it a try too ;) @Progrock: Indeed, it’s not easy to pinpoint a work that is "objectively" better. Personally, I find myself somewhat aligned with Antoniodeste's thoughts (but is Fred so cutting edge that he doesn’t even shake hands normally? Even a cross-technique.. :D), with LegEnd and In Praise at the top, but I also really appreciate Western Culture, which I feel is rather underrated by fans.

On the record in question, I would say I share the same opinion as Mocampo. The review is beautiful and detailed.

@Jargon: That "which one do you want to do" suggests to me that you’re leaving me with just one of the (at least) two possibilities? ;) Well, between Concerts and Western Culture, I admit I have a slight preference for the latter, so if I were to write another review about Henry, it would be about their latest studio album. I didn’t want to do like in the old days, when I felt compelled to immediately fill every gap in the DeBaser database by writing a ton of reviews about the same artist in the span of two days (thus justifiably boring a good part of the visitors), but this discography undoubtedly deserves to be completed.

Thank you Hetzer, Pistolpete, Macaco, Jargon, Elio & Green! Personally, I believe that practically all of Henry's albums deserve a 5, and I also think that experimentation should always be rewarded. However, it would have been unfair of me not to admit that this work is indeed only partially successful. I completely agree regarding the rounding up to 5, but I wanted to make it clear that a masterpiece is defined by the genius and artistry infused within it, not by the name (however esteemed or respected) of its creator. That's why I wanted to highlight the difference in the outcome of this Unrest, giving it a 4, which should still be understood as a semi-masterpiece (whether for innovation, historical importance, or a myriad of other reasons). I realize that this choice of mine might seem a bit off, but, in the end, I've never hidden my enormous difficulty in evaluating a large number of works relying solely on 5 numbers (if it were 10, it would already be a whole different story). Let's say that by using too many 5s (which here, since there are no half points, are always understood as full 5s), I fear I would fall into a generalization that would become frustrating and unclear for readers, especially for "laypeople," who would find themselves looking at a series of albums, seemingly all at the same level. This river of words to say that, every time I come to a rating, I find myself in crisis, and often, looking at some reviews left without scores, I would like to take them as an example. However, at that point, the purpose of the review would lose part of its significance, so even though it's so difficult for me, I will keep trying :)

As the English (or is it the Americans?) say, this is not my cup of tea… But the individual depicted on the cover, shouldering a veil twice as long as a Persian rug and holding two candles dangerously reminiscent of blowtorches, what message is he trying to convey to us?

Jargon, but your ratings went randomly, right? I mean, elevating the album to a five seems exaggerated... Personally, I would go for a three and a half, but alas, there are no half points here... Let's say I'm leaning on your five to balance the score to a four, okay? :p

I didn't expect to find you here... This time I'll leave the evaluations at home since I don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about! :p
