I, you stubbornly refuse to understand a damn thing, and yet I thought I had explained myself clearly enough; so for you, everything that isn't technical is "commercial"; have you ever heard of the Beatles? Do you consider them a "little commercial band"? And where is the grandiloquent technique of a group notoriously WITHOUT technique like the Beatles? Yet, look at that, some consider them the most important.. Another name, the Velvet Underground, where do you place them? With a notoriously out-of-tune singer and a drummer who COULDN'T play the drums (yet still came up with rhythms that Portnoy only dreams of)? Another name: Syd Barrett; another name: Pixies...

mmmm he’s losing hair, ouch ouch. Certainly, now that I think about it... what interesting news... what are your music news channels, “Cioè” and “Top Girl”? What luck, huh?

calm down, Hal. A few lines earlier, I clearly stated that I certainly don't count "dark Side" among the "pure crap"! ; ) here we're having a more general discussion about "best sellers," well, you'll agree with me, as an excellent connoisseur of rock that generally, we’re not exactly talking about masterpieces...

that "nymphomaniac midget" is quite a hot piece, which is no small feat. Even those idiots from Linkin Park didn't have the good taste to bring a cute girl into the group, at least I would have had a reason to watch their horrible, pointless, tragically outdated videos. Yeah, unfortunately outdated, if they had played their damn videos a little less on MTV, maybe you young, culturally challenged airheads wouldn't have bought their crappy albums, you would have limited yourselves to listening to, I don't know, the Blue or Ronan Keating or other damn nonsense like that which at least in their blatant mediocrity were a bit more honest than these five goofballs here who pretend to be alternative and act like they suffer, the idiots, and you even more idiotic 15-year-olds falling for it like overripe pears... At least when we were 15 we had Nirvana, whether you like them or not, but compared to this crap...

x Downtown: well, actually, I'm almost moved; thank you, my friend! I hope you understand that I "poke" you quite a bit despite our clear differences in musical tastes. ; ) So really, thank you; I won't forget your last comment.

Then, then, for the 50th time (but no! What am I saying, maybe it’s more than that!) you shoot at me that the DT are the best musicians, that they rock hard, that there’s no one like them, etc. etc. (so annoying!). I RETURN to some comments further up and I REITERATE a concept that I've expressed thousands of times that you forgetful Dreamtheater fans just can't swallow: EXPRESSIVENESS; do you know the meaning of this word? Where is it that these excellent musicians manage to create something modern, where do they show their guts, yes, but in terms of personality, originality, in two words, creativity? There are musicians who are enormously less technical but from this point of view completely outshine your favorites; like the aforementioned Phil Collins on drums, who has a feel behind the kit that Mike Portnoy won’t match in 150 years.. Or, I don’t know, Ian Mckaye of Fugazi on guitar, who couldn’t care less about Petrucci’s boring guitar solos but actually has a style and a personality that Petrucci can only dream of.. And so on, one could go on for an entire night..

As usual, you repeat (I think you’re now the 50th, no joke) that DT are the most technical group in the world; for the fiftieth time: WHO THE HELL CARES!!!!!!! Technique is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for being a great group, and if you know even a little about the history of rock, it takes two-tenths of a second to realize that.
Then, you say that DT make "mostly original" pieces; where? When? Prove it to me. I analyzed "through her eyes" a little further up, and I gave you my reasons for considering it far from original; you didn’t say anything to support your opinion. Oh no, that’s too easy.

I, dear I, am not tired at all of responding to all the fuck yous and the like. In fact, do you want me to tell you? I have a blast, honestly. Every time I check my email, I hope with all my heart that it’s full of comment notifications on this review, so I can have a great time for about half an hour. ; ) Do you want to know what’s starting to annoy me instead? That you keep repeating the same banal, useless, pathetic tunes.. But come on, how can I possibly consider you anything less than mediocre? Let’s begin:

oh no bb; there is a significant difference in terms of quantity, and if you've read Billboard (as I have too) you should notice it: OK Computer by Radiohead, as well as more or less Superunknown, sold about 4 million copies. But in the case of "Dark Side.." as well as the other ones I mentioned, we're talking in terms of top ten best-selling albums in history, stuff that ranges from 15 to 45 million copies sold! And anyway, I also said "usually," a term that implies a certain number of exceptions, but that doesn't change the fact that in most cases... we're talking about pure crap.

What do the Grateful Dead have to do with it?
