Saying something "is boring" is incorrect, and is much more harsh than saying "I find it boring."

I rest my case.

Voting against an album you've never heard makes about as much sense as voting it as your favourite album. Give em some spins, they kick some ass.

Semantics. By that same logic, saying something is "excellent" is also wrong, as is saying something is "crap". It's taken as read that there's an invisible "imo" after any statement made here (unless it's a historical or provable fact) so everything we say is subjective, but not wrong.

I hand you back your case.

How? It's a word with a meaning. The album bores me. So it is boring.

Redundant means something, as does "not done well". However, boring is an opinionated word, not a proper description.
"Redundant" and "not done well" are also opinionated. And who the **** cares? Musical taste is subjective, and so any statement made about it is going to be opinionated. Also, I've already said twice why I found it to be boring.

Please don't use "boring" in a descriptive statement, because it just annoys people.
No.

The fact that I'm saying it means that it is my personal opinion. Adding "I find it" is redundant, and usually just a way for someone to soften the blow of an opinion they fear will bother other people. "I find it" is for pussies.

Yeah, you can't vote for albums you've never listened to. It's a rule I instituted after someone who shall remain nameless, Unknown Soldier, did the exact same thing.

I'm just angry because Merzbow has rendered me incapable of finding anything boring.

Alright, guys. I'm going to speak on Batty's behalf.

We have a four-way tie between:

maudlin of the Well
Fantomas
Naked City
Arcturus

Even the previous votes have these exact four tied up.

While this is unofficial, and will only become official once the Batlord approves it, I suggest that we all vote for whichever album we like the least. Whichever has the most votes is out. Batty, do you agree with doing things this way?
