Gedneil Alpeart Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE (Ovningskora @ Jun 24 2012, 07:16 PM) QUOTE (SchemingDemon @ Jun 24 2012, 05:08 PM) QUOTE (Ovningskora @ Jun 24 2012, 07:02 PM) Fun Fact: Terrapin has only posted in this thread once. Right. And he has already been called out for his sudden 180 degree turn in opinion. That's why I called him a troll. No one gets it That's fine, but my point is, he wasn't even arguing with any of you. Hist single opening post was enough to ignite over 120 responses. It would have been nice if everyone didn't have to repeat each other and we could just as a whole move on. It is what it is.....and whatever.

Presto-digitation Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE "In the fullness of time" this album will go down as sucking as much as the rest of the Rush catalogue since "Signals" I don't know, Grace Under Pressure came after Signals, so that pretty much makes your opinion on this matter utter shite to me already.

The OP who starts a threads like this which is designed to do nothing more than incite a riot, or the ones who take the bait and grab a bat. This thread should have been 1 post long.

Pound of Obscure Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE (Shredder2 @ Jun 24 2012, 03:24 PM) QUOTE (Pound of Obscure @ Jun 24 2012, 01:45 PM) QUOTE (Shredder2 @ Jun 24 2012, 01:37 PM) As I respect you for stating your honest opinion, I highly disagree with you. But hey, every band has one album that doesn't "kick ass", and is yet, critically acclaimed. Justin Beiber is critically acclaimed. What does critically acclaimed even mean?Some music critic said he liked it? Critically acclaimed means that it gets praised by music critics. And Beiber doesn't "kick ass" in my book. So who qualifies these music critics? I'd say 40 years of listening to music and 35 years as a musician qualifies me as much as anyone. So my musings here on TRF should be taken much more seriously by you fine people. Or the flip side. Critical acclaim is meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottT67 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Sometimes people gather round to here other people Fart! Such is the case with your thread! Maybe all of the critically acclaimed praise is wrong, and your right! And you would be.... who, exactly? - Assholes are like opinions, only some spew more shit than others!

Easy, tiger. That's not nice. Not nice at all. Really shitty, in fact. Terrapin is entitled to not like CA. But he is getting flak for the provocative delivery in his opening post, and he had that flak coming to him. But we can do that without stooping to a lower level. Some people don't get that, and there is ample evidence of that in this thread. Unfortunately. Admit it, you laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably woke up and said, "I think I need some attention." I used to get this stuff all the time when I taught junior high... My gf is a teacher, and i think you're right. Absolutely right. Now he's hiding as an anonymous user. I can't believe i returned to the scene of the crime. That's ok...I did too. Hate to admit it, but sometimes I gotta see where these things go.
