But you can't say I didn't listen to the record, I listened to it all the way through many times...it kinda goes without saying, I have to do that with all the records I review. I'm as fair as I can be with every one of them while remaining honest. Of course you're not gonna agree with every single review, and not every single review is going to be positive. But I'm not trying to argue here, I think we should just agree to disagree. If you think I’m misinformed or that my review is inaccurate, then by all means, just disregard it.

I think it seemed too subjective, though, I'm going to look up pseudo-intellectualism. Oh well, maybe you just aren't very good at reviewing records. You say every song sounds the same, however most reviews have said the exact opposite, that many of the songs are very different. Also, there are lots of intros and segues and it is ridiculous to say "every song is a beat and some synth with no padding"... did you even listen to the record? The fact that you didn't like the record is probably the most accurate part of your review.

I mean I always try to be as fair as I can, but in this case especially I thought it was clear that I didn't like the album. I said it sounded very uninspired, trivial, not substantial, monotonous, etc., and therefore wouldn't recommend it. Sorry, publius, but I didn’t think I was being too vague at all.

Your review was a little vague on how you felt about it. Can you elaborate on whether or not you liked the album? Your review was a little vague on how you felt about it.
