So, this morning before going to work, I feel like giving a few ratings…

Thank you, Nick, I care about you too.

I'm sorry to admit it (and it's the first time I'm doing so), but I'm starting to think that De Baser is drifting away.
I mean, I'm not saying we have to be serious at all costs (I don’t remember who told me that the site was created to be a fun and not a serious site), quite the opposite.
But lately, those few times I've logged on, aside from one or at most two cheerful souls who practically comment from morning to night under different nicknames, I only find verbal scuffles between people who clearly have nothing better to do in the summer than to insult each other behind their computers and talk about their own affairs. It's truly extremely pathetic.
In the past, at least some comments from moderators or even the fakes would make me laugh.
Today, however, I read and think: "What a shame that there are people like this."
There's even one who uses a nickname identical to someone else's, insulting me believing that I would retaliate with insults on the reviews of the person whose nickname he has usurped. Childish stuff.
Nick, you who have the right contacts, more than changing the graphic layout, you should tell the webmaster to do something in this regard because otherwise, the few competent and serious people that remain might soon leave, and you'll find the site frequented only by illiterate kids or by not-so-young folks who, whether through fakes or in person, will infest all the reviews with stupid jokes or fights that no one cares about.

@Sfascia: Are you referring to Close Encounters of the Third Kind? ;D

Some clarifications: the story told really happened, including the episode of the kid who got beaten up and taken to the emergency room because he had "dared" to overtake someone who he shouldn't have; I have never written, nor do I think that Cape Fear is a useless movie, quite the opposite; I've never seen "Leon."
As for the rest, I thank everyone, except of course that big fool N.i.b.i.o. who I have no doubt, in my same situation, would have shown so much courage that he couldn't even find the jack, in addition to the considerable stench of diarrhea with which he would have flooded his car.

I must give you my sincere compliments, because even though you review and talk mostly about music and bands that I would never dream of listening to, you do it with extreme competence and passion.
This is to say that one can speak very professionally even about more commercial bands or genres. Truly impressive.

I miss this.
A salute to an excellent reviewer.

2.5

Alright, the review, alright, the passion, alright, everything, but let's not joke around.
This record is absolutely not a 5, in my opinion.
A pop metal album with neither infamy nor praise, featuring a few nice ballads, but nothing more.

Hi Bartle.
It's partly work-related, but more than that, it's personal matters that keep me busy. See you soon.
