I find his language groundbreaking. I only wish I understood what he meant with all his islands and mainlands and whatnot.

Have you read the Libertarian thread recently?

Does he even know how to write in English? Some of his sentences could be used as examples of grammatical horror.

The guy does seem to have a bug in his butt about islands.  What gives?

Quote All the people who were high in drugs in the album Undertow are all Racist--KKK. This proves the basis of the group is island based and are also the Number 1 conjure against the mainland individual.

I like his review on Renaissance where he speaks of yodeling. Annie Haslam is one fine yodeler.

Not really - as a nation we're not that sensitive or thin-skinned - generally we find anything like that to be amusing rather than offensive. How can anyone be offended by being called "a working perversion" - if you're going to be a perversion better to be a working one than a broken one I say.
What?

I read some of those reviews, up until the point I thought my mind was going to collapse, even if just to protect itself....

What the F does `performance based styled/themed' even mean lol?!

He isn't a prog reviewer.  I was just joking that I was "surprised" that he wasn't a prog reviewer with reviews like that.  They do seem to be anti-UK.  He did give Rush in Rio 3 stars, although he did say he doesn't like the band but he liked the sound and the production.

If he's a prog reviewer, maybe someone hacked/hijacked his account?
Although he doesn't seem to like anything.
Thanks !! Your topics always so good and informative. I like you talk.

I generally prefer NOT to directly point out specific reviews or reviewers,
no matter how brilliant or idiotic I may find them to be...

but I've decided to announce that THIS reviewer is definitely my new "favorite"!  


Enjoy for yourself.  LOL
