Prudo To The Core.

In fact, you didn't even isolate a sentence; you completely made it up by summarizing it in your head, which is one of the most annoying things.

Changing the cards on the table? I wrote 87 comments in this review, you isolated one sentence, and I’m changing the cards on the table? I reiterated the same concept 97 times. Read all the comments, I was talking about a review done poorly by a 13-year-old fan. So I say that Aretha Franklin is a powerhouse because she has a powerful voice, and that's all good. But come on, it’s a review site of all kinds, and you need to find the right words for each genre. Even saying that Bruce is an Exquisite guitarist like you do: it’s a huge load of crap. Words need to be weighed properly. You might like him, I think he’s terrible, but he’s not exquisite. Exquisite can be used for Hendrix or Fripp or a very limited group of people, not Bruss. If Bruss is exquisite then 4,000 people are exquisite, and no one is.

The funny thing is that you call Zappa a snob, and he does the same by suggesting the album that "any shopkeeper will laugh in your face"... "knowing it will never be remastered." With the slight difference that Zappa could afford to be a snob (even though he didn't act like one) while his album can be found in every megastore on the planet, and the album has been reissued twice.

The best modern female voice.

And for Easter? In January you're going to Brazil to plant the chocolate, in February you roast and process it, then you come back in March and have all the time to work with the best beans alongside the master chocolatiers, and by the end of the month you have the egg ready? Cool. The problem arises in August, going around in a bikini from the end of April isn't very healthy. PS: Sylvian has disappointed me too many times recently, I'm sorry for Robertone but I'm out. Merry Christmas to them too, and a bit to Bill Gates and Microsoft Excel.

A bit limited, huh Punisher?

Beautiful, but they must have remastered it at least twice: I have a version I bought recently with a transparent case, and I got it from Media World, not ordered from some rare collectibles website, so forget about being laughed at. A friend of mine has an older one from the late 80s with a black shoulder, and I don’t know where he bought it, but I don’t think anyone laughed at him either. Anyway, great review, but the record is available everywhere, just to not discourage those who want to look for it.

To me, who doesn't like REM (and that says a lot), I like this. 5. And this is undoubtedly the best review of REM on the site.

Yeah, yeah, all very nice, but like all newcomers, you give little weight to words and speak in absolutes. My point is that saying "the best live performer existing" is nonsense; they might be talented, but it doesn’t matter. Another point of my argument is: the terms used in this review are completely off; it sounds like a review from Gods Of Metal or Road Burn: ""war machine, ear-splitting layer, I don't know what distortions""... they don't mean a thing. A death metal band is a war machine, a rock band, by virtue of being rock, does rock, it’s not a war machine. Being a site for global reviews, the right terms need to be used for each genre. And the distortions, come on, it’s rock, not acid psych; an acid psych band uses distortions, not someone who does rock like Bruss. Therefore, your argument, although valid, has nothing to do with mine. There’s always a tendency here to bring everything to the absolute discourse of "best-worst" and to make statements like "there's no better than all", which are discussions that have neither beginning nor end, and are useless and far too subjective. I was only contesting the fact that, indeed, this review speaks in absolutes that have nothing to do with Bruss. If you like it, tough luck for you, but I wasn’t disputing his talent; I think he’s terrible, but that’s not the point—“terrible” is a matter of taste, pointless to discuss. However, the terms used here don’t mean a thing, and I stand by that.
