this review tells me nothing. what a pile of meaningless bullshit. why do
magazines feel they have to write reviews like this? why can't the
reviewers have enough spine to say something rather than hide behind pretty
words? i suppose part of it might be industry connections, but that's even
more lame...
sorry to waste bandwidth, but i just had to vent my anger at these idiot
reviewers that one finds everywhere.
