Don't start saying that this is the fourth review of the album because this is definitely the best one on Debaser, in fact, maybe it's the best I've ever read on TVU&N... congratulations... I often found myself in your words and you completely surrendered to what can be felt from listening to the album.

Wow, this is worth listening to!

several grammatical errors and poor organization and syntactic flow... did you read it again before sending it? (no offense). Musically speaking, you can't help but mention gems like Sonnet, Space and Time, Come On, The Drugs Don't Work, and Velvet Morning above all, a masterpiece of the album that, in my opinion, together with Lucky Man, greatly surpasses track number one... in my opinion, if you only like 3 songs, you can't give 4/5 to the entire album.

Beautiful, yes, but I don’t understand the phrase “and the influence that Sigur Rós had on Radiohead is evident.” It’s true that they had already released two albums before this one, but it seems to me quite the opposite, meaning that Jonsi’s voice is a copy of Thom Yorke’s. Without taking anything away from the value of this band, which, in my opinion, becomes much smaller in comparison to Radiohead.

Indeed, if you allow me, I agree with him... I found myself a bit in the review, although perhaps I would have done it with a less accusatory tone. I've only listened to the album 3-4 times, but it really doesn't say anything to me (except for "Hallelujah," which is stunning, but coincidentally isn't his)... I really can't understand what you see in it that's beautiful, and this is coming from a fan of Radiohead's melancholic sound. I downloaded it precisely because of all the praise I've heard, but I don't know... Just to be clear, I intend to listen to it and try to find something in it... Anyway, all of you, please accept the fact that it might not appeal to everyone; music isn't objective (see Cate's comment above).
PS: However, addressed to the reviewer, honestly, where have you seen Pink Floyd in this?

even though I said that in the second half of the 70s prog faded a bit, to put it simply, the greatness of this movement is undeniable. albums like Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, Nursery Cryme, In the Court of the Crimson King, Islands, In the Wake of Poseidon, Thick as a Brick, Close to the Edge, and last but not least the three by Van der Graaf are essential in my personal discography... Peter Hammill, Peter Gabriel, and Ian Anderson (as much as the legendary Jethro can be included in progressive) remain my favorite characters. PS: when I mention Peter Gabriel, I mean all of Genesis, who perhaps formed a unique sound made up of different scores rather than just an ensemble of solo instruments.

Well, I see you are a connoisseur of progressive... you definitely know much more than I do, especially since I’m only 17. I only have the first album by Gentle Giant (very beautiful Nothing at all and Isn't it quiet and cold) and I also really like Trilogy and especially Take a pebble by ELP (Barbarian isn’t bad either)... anyway, I understand that virtuosity can be appealing in progressive, I was just speaking for myself when I said it feels a bit too heavy...

great review (even though the way you talk, it really deserved a 5) although I absolutely do not agree with what you say about scatterbrain... in my opinion, it’s the best track, sweet in the vocals, yet at the same time infused with a restrained nervousness in the guitar arpeggios... that's how I see it
