That review is a bit worrying if they think Beady Eye's album was better considering bar 4-5 songs it was average at best. I'll reserve judgement until i've heard Noel's for myself obviously.
Thanks for the scan though, k+

have to say for as much as I didn't like what I read with the uncut review, at least it seemed to have some substance and came across as honest to me.

The UNCUT review doesn't matter to me in the slightest. It's his "opinion", and that's it.
Reviews are never as bad or as good as they make the album seem to be. So I'm not putting any stock in any review. Good or bad.
Besides, did anyone really think that Noel was going to 4/5 or 5/5 stars across the board? I didn't. Even the best album has it's share of either lukewarm or bad reviews. It's the nature of music.

This originally part of another thread. I just restated what I said before. And i did not state any excuses. Those are facts of music. No album gets great reviews across the board. That's it. If you think I care, then go look at my posts for the DGSS reviews. I stated the same as in those posts. They weren't excuses then, and not excuses now. All I did was state my opinion. I'll try not to state it as much, if it looks like I'm making excuses. Really, it's never enough for some people.....

I ain't tryin to ride your sack or nothin spanels, but you ever get sick of posting the same thing in all these threads? And after all these years of bad reviews, why anyone expects anything different is beyond me. Not to mention, who gives a shit what these people think? The only reason to have any real reaction to one of these is if you've kept up with a specific reviewer who shares the same musical taste. Otherwise it's just some stranger who may or may not like the same type of music as you.

Regarding reviews, I kinda take the same approach towards album or movie reviews. You can't take the score too seriously, it's better to read and see the points the reviewer makes, to make yourself an idea of what the music/movie is like, and you be the judge if that's interesting for you.
Take for example someone criticizing a movie for being too depressing, I don't know, just something on the top of my head. If you like depressing movies, that's not going to put you down, even if the score is 1/10, you just can tell the reviewer and you have different tastes, but you have a slight idea of how the movie will be.
The same can be said about this review. I wouldn't worry, since I like Noel's music and I know I'll like this album. The main criticisim I get from this review is that Noel's songs sound boring, plodding and nothing revolutionary. Well, that's a way of looking at it, for someone who likes to have more energy in the songs and experimenting. I'm not surprised, since I didn't expect Noel to be too rocky or out of his comfort zone, so that's not a shock. It's whether you put a positive or negative emotion to it that makes the difference.

I'd go crazy if I had to keep posting the same opinion over and over again in 5 different threads or something.

he seems he is the type of reviewer who could give Sting or P.Collins a 4/5 stars for their new "astonishing" albums...but not that guy from Oasis that cant write anymore a Cig n Alcohol... but really, i much prefer his new mature direction than a rewrite of a rock tune now, especially withou7t Liam on vocals.we should be happy to have an album like this. the problem for same mags is that they give albums to reviewers that already dont like the bands/artists and i cant understand this.

Why do you feel the need to post the same opinion so often anyway? I shouldn't have to answer any question that supposes why I post my opinion. Whether once or twice or how many. I should not have to explain myself. Anyone who asks fuck off. My posts, my opinions. I will post them wherever I want. This is just pertaining to this post. This has been building over time. I don't ask this of other people, I shouldn't have it asked of me.

Not like your benign repetitious non-coherence was that much more insightful, like.

No, but you might like to be aware of how you come off at times. When you post the same thing over and over in multiple threads it gives the impression that you think your opinion is super important and everyone must know your thoughts on everything. I'm not saying you're consciously thinking that, but it can come off that way. However, the very nature of this place, as stated a million times before, is that anyone can say anything to whomever they please. No one is immune to criticism.

If there's any way you can find it in your heart to forgive me, then MY dear lonely heart would be of ease. Goddam, even if you want me to apologize dear spaneli, then I would lovingly oblige, unbegrudgingly so.

If he wished to share his posts in multiple threads, it wouldn't matter to me. Nor would I question it. Maybe LIB is right. Maybe after awhile it's best to just go to the lounge and stay there. I don't mind those who question my opinion. This is a forum and everything is up for debate, but I will not have someone question why I feel the need to post my opinion. All I ask is to do unto others. I find anyone who questions why I post to be offbase. If your annoyed by it, then don't read. But don't act as if you or anyone has the right to question why I state what i feel. Whether I state my opinion once or a million times. And if anyone finds that I think my opinion as superior, then it says a lot more about you, than me. I'm done......

Jesus. what is it, bash Spaneli day? chill out, people. and avoid the insults. Two people rightly tell a poster to calm down for being very precious and unnecessarily aggressive and you defend the poster that told someone to fuck off after they asked him a valid question? Wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Spanelli's position on this forum and the cliques that we all know exist between senior posters and mods?

No one is going to change spaneli.
Leave him alone. At least when he posts something it's usually a decent post. Certainly he makes the same points in different threads....but are they wrong. Do they not fit in with the subject being discussed? I understand fully that spaneli's attitude frustrates you rifles...but you aren't going to change his approach to this board and how he expresses himself. So why you have felt the need to challenge him on it several times in the last few day is beyond me.
