I love the "punch me in the face right now" quality of the thread title / original post. It's like something I would write. Except I wouldn't.

There is a direct ILX search, btw. You go to Search and then click on "Direct ILX Search." While I was there, I discovered 27 threads (besides this one) with "Christgau" or "Xgau" in the title, and 10 with "DeRogatis" in the title.

"Reviews that steer more toward synopsizing and less toward editorializing are more my preference, only because I'd rather know the facts than the critical musings of a self-proclaimed authority. This applies to criticism of any medium. But sticking to music for now: if you've ever read the 33 1/3 books, the best ones tend to be those which primarily relate the circumstances which led to the creation of the album (e.g., The Velvet Underground And Nico, Paul's Boutique) and don't devolve into proselytization (e.g., The Stone Roses, OK Computer). Lester Bangs might have produced the occasional tasty bon mot, but his opinions were no more valid than yours or mine."

"Trust me, I'm a vet to a number of other similar boards that have been around just as long, if not longer. I know the general mindset. Doesn't mean it's not worth stating."
