MuSo, take it step by step... a little listen to "Skylarking" by XTC as an appetizer :-) joking aside, they are truly exceptional, you have to try them.

I agree. An album that might be a bit too commercial, but who cares...

it was me this one :-)

...anyway, you guys are crazy. and Bon Jovi sucks. but it doesn't matter anymore. and there was someone laughing at poor George...

Oops, my apologies: I said something stupid, the review of MMM already existed...

Hi TheBlueMask, when will the review of "Metal Machine Music" be up? I'm not joking... I would love to see it on this site.

"The best track is 'Berlin' (which will be revisited the following YEAR in the album of the same name). Are you sure about what you wrote?"

Yes, you're right, Peppe. But this live EP is untouchable. Beautiful, like "Under the blood red sky," after all.

well... it's pointless to lash out at those who make (??) commercial and easy music when they do it openly and, I believe, decently. not my genre obviously, but if the measure of the "quality" of these productions is the charm and ability to entertain of the performers... I think Kylie has passed the test. and unlike many others, I've never found her vulgar... what grade to give her? uhm... mumble mumble... considering exclusively what the album aimed for, and judging it solely compared to similar products (Spears, Aguilera, the latest Cher) I would say a...

It really wasn't meant to be an argument, God. But I think you can agree with me that there's a lot of useless and annoying "spam" circulating on this nice site. We are free users and we can express all the comments we want on albums, even the most colorful ones. But take a look around: the "national" sport seems to be the unconditional and free insult to the USER!!! Writing "shit" about an album is fine, but writing "jerk" or other insults directed at a user (like Caz does, for instance) is something I totally disagree with. I know you don't behave excessively, but precisely for this reason (and I include myself in this) we should at least try to avoid it. In this regard, let me tell you an episode that really made me furious: there’s a kid (nickname: "vinpe") who sent a review for the first time, but unfortunately, he wrote it about "Octavarium" by Dream Theater, an album that already has several reviews on this site. Well: within a night he was literally bombarded with unrepeatable insults. Yet he hadn't written trivial things, he hadn’t lost himself in wild praises, but had instead highlighted some original aspects of that work. Simply put, it seems to have become common practice to call anyone a jerk or an asshole. After enduring a hundred insults, he timidly replied that he was sorry, that he didn't want to make mistakes, that maybe he didn't know the site rules very well, that he had written only because where he lives he doesn't know anyone to talk to about his favorite band. God, how angry I got the other day, really!! What difference would it have made if instead of "asshole, idiot, jerk," the detractors of Dream Theater had written "shitty album, disgusting album," etc.? The difference is that they would have denigrated an OBJECT, and wouldn't have launched into insults like idiots towards a PERSON!! One thing the poor vinpe didn’t understand, but it’s not about the rules of Debaser: it’s the fact that behind anonymity, there are often idiots who respond immediately to their instincts, disregarding the respect and sensitivity of others. So, a "call to action": at least let's try to avoid it, and let's do so systematically! Let’s critique the album, if necessary, but leave the people alone. Do you agree?
