| You are too generous with your scores. Didn't ever see you go below 7. 7 should be the most common "good" score. 9s and 10s should be used sparingly.

This is preachy garbage through and through.
Also "The Beatles are positive" is a nice lark. Like that pleasant "Norweigian Wood" song. What was that about again? Oh right, attempted rape and arson. How uplifting. |

Short answer "No"
Long answer "No."
Plus, if this forum is any indication, a shockingly high portion of aspies have terrible taste anyway. |

| The following albums made me happy, followed by a score I'd give each of them out of 10. Pieces of the Sky (Emmylou Harris, 1975) 9.2 Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (Pavement, 1994) 9.5 Tago Mago (Can, 1971) 9.2 Tonight's the Night (Neil Young, 1975) 9.6 Only four? Slow day for me. It was probably that ... |

| ...could you at least cite some specific reasons? The production was the biggest problem for me. To me it felt like a really second rate clone of Flying Lotus' stuff. Some of the looped samples they recorded were not used very well, some felt like they went on without a break in the wall. Atmospher... |
