You'd probably be all up on Tera Melos and Wilco's dicks. Minutemen and Deerhoof are excellent as well, iirc Deerhoof was in a song war and we argued about it once.

1. It's pointless. Give your opinion and spare us the patronizing bull****.

2. You are being disingenuous when you say something you don't believe just to "keep the peace".

Now you mention it, I may have reviewed a Wilco album back in the old "Love or Hate?" thread. Sounds vaguely familiar.

Oh wait, was Deerhoof something about milk or something? I think I hated it. Or was that something else? Wow: I've used the word "something" three times in this post. That's something else. Four times now. Oh, no, five actually.

1. **** off
2. **** off

3. Who says I don't believe it? Chances are that most fans of most bands will like most (crap: here I go again. Three times I've said most!) of their output. If you're a fan you're more likely to give a weak album a pass than if you're not. So the odds are on the side of my being right: they probably would like it.

Quite at peace in here.

So because someone likes a band they probably like any given album? Here, let me try...

"Personally I think Iron Maiden's The X Factor is a load of absolute bollocks, but I've never really been a fan of metal and I'm sure their fans will enjoy it."

I guess that's not at all patronizing and disingenuous.

Lol. Don't worry, it sounds nothing like IDLES. Anyway, the goal is to hear as many releases from last year as possible, no?

First of all, that's a ridiculous example, since you know I AM a metal fan, a big Maiden fan and know what I'm talking about there, and would never say that. I know very little about ATDI so for all I know this could be their ****ing masterpiece, and I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on them.

Tell you what: here's an idea. Why don't you leave me to review as I see fit, and keep your beak out? Don't you have a Death Metal Album Club thread to ignore?

Yes it is a ridiculous example. It was used to demonstrate how ridiculous your "keeping the peace" is in a way that you would understand. This is a common function of most analogies.
