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".

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.

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.

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.

That was supposed to be a hypothetical person, you nonce! If you read someone's review of The X Factor and it said that, would you consider them open minded or a patronizing twit?
