Look, I really like the album too; I've voted for it positively several times. That doesn’t change the fact that this review is full of nonsense like "Cornerstone of heavy metal," and in the comments, you find gems like "Queen iconographically more famous than the Beatles." Also, excuse me for a second, but you’ve probably read 10 reviews out of 6000; can you explain where you get your so-called "unfounded" from? Read the entire site, all of Francis’s contributions, and then you can talk.

<<< the "brilliant but I don't like it" is one of the saddest concepts that exist. >>> But no, come on ajeje, one can perceive brilliance but not appreciate the final result. I find much classical stuff brilliant, like the example of Mozart, but since I don't like the sound produced by classical instruments, I don't like the final result. Obviously, when I happen to hear classical pieces reworked with modern sounds, I get really excited. But the fact remains that I don't like the original.

I just saw the private messages. I have a 56k connection and can’t open multiple pages at the same time; this one has so many posts that it takes up all the bandwidth. But we can still understand each other, it just takes clear explanations and putting things into perspective. If you shoot out blunt and sharp phrases, it’s hard not to contradict yourself. I, for example, have very strong opinions about cinema, but at the same time, I obviously admit that I don’t understand the artistic sense of it, or to put it plainly: I don’t understand a thing, as I am stuck in two rigid opinions and the rest seems pointless to me.

<<< it is obvious that musical taste cannot be objectified... >>> Ok, perfect, now you can say whatever you want. <<< but I can prove that Parker is musically superior to Eminem. >>> Well, obviously, if we are talking about MUSICAL SUPERIORITY, you are completely right. Since music is also a discipline, some points can obviously be objectified. You just have to """"be careful"""" about how you use the words subjective/objective; that's where misunderstandings arise. Everything else are just respectable opinions.

Even so, you wrote earlier that if I had called you, you would have explained how one can judge a piano A to be better than a guitar A... but I like to think you were just playing along. Come on, we forgive you.

Ah ok, you expressed yourself poorly. Now that you say <<< the historical and musicological judgment that tends to objectivize >>> I'm totally fine with that. But trust me, in Italian it sounds completely different from <<< music is not subjective >>> Now I can go home calmly.

Basentini, okay on the English thing, but I also need to disconnect from the office, it’s a bit past ten. Let’s get to the point: ARE YOU REALLY CONVINCED THAT MUSICAL TASTE (not just ja, ALL MUSIC) CAN BE OBJECTIFIED? The rest of your arguments are completely shareable, and I agree with them. What matters to me is just that question in uppercase, nothing more. Please answer with a yes or no, because I can't conceive how a respected teacher like you could think such a thing. I hope I’ve misunderstood.

Bsentini, it's still not clear to you: we are discussing OBJECTIVE TASTE APPLIED TO MUSIC, not "music in general." You're missing the point: me and the others couldn't care less about practical examples, what we want to know is: BUT ARE YOU REALLY CONVINCED THAT MUSICAL TASTE (not just ja, ALL MUSIC) CAN BE OBJECTIFIED? Because it’s clear that Italian isn’t your strong suit, but this is what you stated in the previous sentences.

Yes, but English is a language and not letters.>>> But you said the opposite before!

<<< To say it's objective doesn't mean to say it's prettier or uglier... what are you talking about? Name: emanuelebasentini | Date: 7/2/2006 | Rating: | Rating of the Album: >>> Basentini, you have extensive musical knowledge but you don't know the meaning of Italian terms. You talked for an hour about culture, and you don't even know what objective means. >>>
