Agh, so many 10s! :-D
I'm working on it :P
See the scores? They're changing. There'll still be a lot of high scores, but less 10s.
So, even then, you can't say I'm not trying to be more strict. It'll just take a while because I'm gonna have to listen to all the albums again.
Yeah, that's fair enough. I give lots of songs high ratings too. There are so many Springsteen or R.E.M. songs, for example, I'd give 10/10..
And that's what being a fan of a band is about
Giving them lots of 10s.
Ok, that may not be true, but when a band is really good (and I do mean up to the point of near perfection), I think it is only normal to love a lot of their songs that much.
Ouch, that middling rating for "Helter Skelter" hurts.
I used to rate it a 3
It's starting to grow on me :P
The rating will probably go up a bit more some other time
Other than "Hey Jude," it's probably my favorite song of theirs.
The lyrics are so tame, yet the music is so...violent.
Oh. Wow. Just noticed you gave "Revolution 9" a 0! That's another one of my favorites...
"Hey Jude" is my absolute favourite of theirs.
And I've never been a fan of violent music.
As for "Revolution 9", I just can't stand listening to it. It's actually painful.
I find it really really immersive and absorbing. There's something intense, frightening, and strangely comforting about it.
I definitely know that no one else has ever made a piece of music like it.
That's true, it is unique.
But just not my kind of music. It's too random and too experimental for me.
