3. If a band/album is shit he gives an according grade. He can't help it if said shitty music shapes music to come, for morons such as yourself. Why would you write about how a band has influenced music when they are terrible, that would make you even madder, no?
4. Your point was, wah, wah, wah he doesn't like your fav band, no?! An album deserves the grade he gives it. He himself has changed grades, on the odd occasion. He doesn't like prog, in general, or metal, etc. Neither do I. Boo hoo.
5. You were 'getting at' that he should take the band seriously because they have a reputation? Urgh, I am still surprised when I meet people from the lower end of the human gene pool.
6. FWIW/btw, 'Red' was their best album!

2. Stop being ridiculous.
3. So band that has been extremely influential because they have been creative and original deserve a shit grade because the album doesn't quite resonate with the reviewer? What a brilliant way of reviewing that is!
4. See the above.
5. No, you still have failed to comprehend what I said, I was saying your statement that he reviews albums by the album itself rather than the band who created it was a stupid, pointless statement because it was not relevant in this context, and judging by your ability to understand simple English I would comfortably say you're the one from the lower end of the gene pool.
6. I also enjoy that album, along with Larks' Tongues, however the most acclaimed is In the Court.
Me: The great thing about Xgau is, he can rate album by album, not by band! You: Also In the Court is basically considered King Crimson's best album, so the idea of him rating it ignoring the bands reputation is a stupid statement seeing as their reputation is basically founded on that album. Me: 3. Your point about King Crimson is..? They are rated off that first album. One, that is dumb (to not rate each album, separately) and two they suck—go figure! Can't be bothered to copy the rest.
