it to me in a way I can understand- >>
i second this. this sums up my feelings on the subject. reviews simply
stating that something is "shit" or "trash" don't influence my opinion on
music at all... but an actual DESCRIPTION of the music does help.. if
you're too lazy to write a review of something in any depth than DON'T
bother, it's not helping anyone at all. personal taste is subjective, and
everyone knows that. what i like, i know for a fact some people don't. what
some people like, i don't. the majority of this list does not know my
personal taste at all (and vice versa) so you can't make an accurate
judgement on music based on whether or not *I* like it. but if i were to
elaborate on why or why not i liked it, you could make a better judgement on
whether or not its worth your time to further research it, or in fact buy it.
so please... if you can't bother to post a slightly in depth review of
something, please don't clutter up the list. and most people who posted
short reviews such as "it's trash" took the time to DEFEND their position, so
obviously they can take the time to elaborate on their opinion...
thanks
