Telling your honest opinion is sufficient. It doesn't have to be watered down to please others. If you think it's meadow muffin than say it.

You would think this is totally obvious. But there are several morons on this list that can't bare the thought of someone not liking what they like. Truthful opinions, PLEASE. If you hate something, say so, maybe say something to support your feelings...like the production quality is shite, or whatever.

Not a bad idea. Wedgies for supporting bad electronic music, I like that. But then there would be a significant number of bowlegged ravers.
