Thank you.  Speaking of which, I just read your Swans review. Nicely done. Other friends have been recommending this one and your review just sealed the deal.

Well I have to say it again, because he is one of the few reviewers where I actually stop and immediately read when he posts a review.....I LOVE Conor Fynes' writing, his love of music, and his reasoned assessments.  And as a bonus he judiciously rates albums in the spirit of the guidelines for the different star descriptions. 
Thanks Conor and have some clappies

I'm tracking that one down for sure. Anything that's not polished and has character is right up my alley. Great review man! That's a great album, and I totally agree with Michael's review. If you want to read my own point of view, here it is: http://www.dprp.net/reviews/201425.php#distillerie

Raff you have such an incredible way with words, thanks for that.

Cheers Raff, John, Sagi!

My credit goes to Sagi! My friend, you kept mentioning that title to me! I order heaps of Italian discs, but that was one that simply got past me. It wasn't total love at first listen, but then all of a sudden it fell into place. Now I can't stop listening to it, and it just gets better and better on heaps of plays. Thank you!

Great review too, Raff!

Cheers, Sam, my pleasure! I probably would never have bothered with the album if you hadn't mentioned it. It's nothing too special, but it has some worthwhile spots. Although I got the CD damn cheap, I still probably paid a couple of dollars too much!

aglasshouse's review of The Wall is spot on, I fully agree although I can apreciate a bit more thanks to my ability to ignore lyrics 

^ So true, that's why I prefer The Endless River to The Wall

Did you ever listen to the early recordings of the album from the 2011 remasters? I kind of prefer some of those to the final result: Gilmour and Wright seem to play more freely and Waters doesn't sound as crazy

I never paid attention to his lyrics: once I was playing 'Blackest Eyes' and a friend started laughing at the lyrics. I felt like I didn't know the song at all
I also get that feeling when I listen to Gates of Delirium from Yes or Hemispheres (the track) from Rush for example.

^ How's the 4 minute edit of Comfortably Numb? Did they cut the guitar solo?
One Of My Turns and Don't Leave Me Now are the tracks I like less in it

Well, I was never into poetry in high school, most of the times I couldn't even get a single interpretation from those but I understand that it's like music: everyone (that cares about it) has its own opinion and feelings about it even if many others don't agree sometimes
I wish my teacher had taught Petrus Castrus' Ascenção e Queda on portuguese classes though, I would certainly be more attentive
