Eno & 90's U2 back...
I actually like that review... Way back in 91, i remember reading reviews like that for the best album ever made...
Haha, that review is the best one yet. Bloody hilarious.
I can't wait to see some mad Interference reactions now...
It is possible to layer your album in sound upon sound after all but still have it sound cheesy or middle of the road. Look at "Love and Peace." Apologies to those who like it, but really, if some of these songs are that bland that no amount of technology or frills can save them, then oh boy.
How do you know it's the "best"? Have you heard the album? Do you agree with the reviewer?
Music is so subjective that I don't appreciate ANY reviews and wish music reviewers would disappear off the face of the planet. A song like "My Life Would Suck Without You" (and how's that for the worst line of 2009?) is #1. Tons of kids love it. Just because I don't, does it mean it's crap?
To me, music reviewers are as useless as sports writers. They say painfully obvious points and spit out opinions when none are required. At least a movie review gives you some insight into the film. So even if this was another great review, I wouldn't be impressed. I need to hear the album - when it comes to music, only my opinion matters.
I agree with everything you said. I couldn't give a flying fuck about these opinions and reviews. I just read them because they offer some song descriptions until the album leaks.
I say it's the best review so far because it made me laugh. I find it fascinating that some people would be upset by it. In the end, it's only your own opinion that matters.

it's funny when below-average writers are condescending towards people vastly more successful than they are.

Music is part-subjective, the rest is intelligence. Bob Dylan is definitely better than the Spice Girls. No contest. Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't being subjective...they're just being complete morons. Of course this is me subjectively speaking.
Not necessarily. Spice Girls were pretty awesome. Their songs were perfect pop, nothing wrong with them.

See music is subjective!
Actually, I would argue that Dylan's songs are better, put the performance is worse.

Well, if you're going by sex appeal then I'd have to go with Spice Girls.
But i was just talking about the songs. The recordings.
That was not meant to incite violence... I posted it before I read your last comment. Still, I think saying that you can have no discussion because of the subjectivity of music is false. That actually IS the nature of subjectivity: that we can have totally varied opinions, and therefore it breeds healthy and valuable discussion. (or in this forums case, bickering, whinging and fighting)
and thats what im saying: Dylan's songs are better in my opinion, but the recordings are inherently garbage because he performs on them.
he should have written books, not songs
which recordings are garbage? (resist the "all of them" reply) Specifically, which ones?
The funny thing is, most of those (definitely not all, don’t jump on me) who are always the quickest to say “THAT’S JUST YOUR OPINION!!! MUSIC IS SUBJECTIVE!!!!!” are generally those who are also by far the quickest to totally write off an entire artist, or even an entire genre. Guarantee when something comes up like a Will.I.Am (or previously, Kanye West) rumour of involvement, they’re the ones to jump fastest with something like “HIP-HOP SUCKS!!!#@!#!! I HATE HIP-HOP!!@@*#&* IT’S NOT MUSIC!!! @*(#&@”
my brother is an insane Dylan fan, so ive heard bucket loads of his songs. he is a below average guitarist, and his voice makes me want to burn my ears off.
he writes beautiful lyrics. He should have been a poet.
Again, my opinion.
Just to clear it up, I wasn't referring to you with the artist/genre comment.
I used to hate his voice too. You'll love him one day. Trust me.
I really don't think I will. I have tried. I really have. I know not liking Dylan puts me in the minority. I like reading books on him, and reading his lyrics. I have enough music in my life, so I don't think I ever will feel compelled to discover him.
But each to their own
