Actually looking at that Google result, it seems that just about everyone's debut album was a classic. Surely some mistake?

Follow the link, and it carries on in equally strange ways. Either the guy is deadly serious, or seriously taking the piss. I'm not sure which way to go on that one.

Nobody seems to realize that the problem isn't the language, it's the fact that music reviews universally suck.
― libcrypt, Saturday, 9 February 2008 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link
^^^ this. i was trying to think of why i thought this thread-concept nbit the big one, but there it is. most (positive) music reviews are a gallimaufry of boosterism, reaching, and outright humbug.

At best, a review should be a by-product of an otherwise-directed bit of writing that entertains, informs, or what have you on merits other than its value as a musical consumer guide.

On this 'tip' ("tip"!): "Chameleon" (Tanya made this point once but she nicked it off me or Pete) - David Bowie a rock chameleon i.e. ever-changing, unpredictable BUT chameleons blend into the background, so it's more like Soup Dragons-y bandwagon jumping AND the only colours they can do are various shades of dull green yellow and brown so 'unpredictable' is a bit off too
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Why is this funny? Coz ANY FULE KNO (well, they do if they watch QI) that chameleons don't blend into the background at all, but change colour in accordance with their mood, which is presumably what Bowie was doing, tho presumably he was not that moody (a commendable thing, no?) coz he left it for an album, possibly two, and at the very least a song, before doing it.
A lurid pink chameleon would be as desirable as, say, Tin Machine?

stop being like OMGWTF when bands have 10-minute-long songs. doing this is lame even when it's indie rock bands (television and can had 10-minute songs) but it's even worse when critics act astounded that mastodon have 10-minute songs. duh they're a prog-influenced metal band.
