You're saying the logic of taking one guy's opinion and singing it as gospel if it's positive is silly, yet the one negative thing we've heard from a 'source' gives you the gusto to say 'Well, that settles that! I was leaning towards downloading, but now that I've heard from that source, downloading is definitely what I want, now!'.
Talk about gospel!
Here's the problem with that, I haven't thrown up my arms and said "That's it, fuck this record" the final judge for how well the album is to me is just that...me. Will I still listen to a leak? I will, but it's nice to at least know what we're getting ahead of time. The reviewer says that Tommy still has Ace qualities in his solos, whether this is a classic-sounding solo or more actual lifting of Ace lifts we'll have to wait and see. But hearing that Paul's got anthems on a supposedly heavy record isn't certainly something to get my hopes up. Or given from what I've learned in the past couple of pages, I'm supposed to chuck this review out of the window. I don't give a shit what this guy thinks about his opinions of the songs, that doesn't matter to me, all I'm paying attention to is the qualities of the songs that he's pointing out. Qualities such as 'what do the solos sound like' 'what kinds of songs are being written' 'the vibe of the album.'
Point I want to bring up, everyone was shitting themselves when Sebastian Bach was praising one of Gene's songs. When Bach's a KISS fan who was in Gene's presence at the time, did anyone honestly expect him to actually honestly review the track?

Why give Gene credit on having a fantastic song then? If the guy's saying Tommy's playing like Ace again, why make that up? It's not subjective, it's a quality of the recording, Ace-like solos that is. While the Paul's anthems comment is a subjective comment, given how he's been in that mode of songwriting since way back in 1998 I'd give that comment some merit and find it believable.
Who said I was talking about this guy specifically?
Our conversation about bias was more broad than just that Joe Schmo.
Really? I thought we were just referring to this guy.
I think it's because :
If it's positive don't listen to it, if it's negative praise the hell out of it. Black clouds and brussell sprouts, acid rain and diabetes !!!
The logic of this forum's astounding at times.
Swing and a miss. I'm not praising anything, I'm taking the qualities of the album that the reviewer has pointed out and taking that as information for what I'm expecting. Have I said anywhere in this thread "The record's shit. They screwed up." No, but apparently that's what you're painting the picture as, and that's laughable.
I can't get too much done at work with this on my mind. I keep checking in here every 20 minutes or so!
What you talking about Willis
