If you had namedropped 50 bands I would've believed that this was Ian Cohen dry-running his Pitchfork review

I’m almost at a loss of words for what I can compare Science Fiction to. Of course, calling this the greatest piece of music would be a major overstatement, and a bit preemptive, yet the individuality and uniqueness it showcases is unparalleled by any other record I’ve heard in my life.

i think squander is the wrong word but other than that, good preemptive response piece. captures the initial visceral reaction to the album nicely; doesnt give a complete account of the thing but imo no album review should do so this early on.

thank god. no ending would do this band justice but for going out with an album that beats what was the undisputed crown jewel of their discography.

yeah avg will settle around 4-4.3, great review but I will always think posting reviews on the first day of release is too premature

It's a hard 4 at least, too soon to say it's better than TDAG

i think its a valid thing to do if the piece is not treated as a definitive review of the album; more a snapshot of the initial experience of turning the thing on for the first time. imo ian's review does the latter well.

your opening paragraph is trite. way too many reviews open with a profound but ultimately useless life and death musing

fair enough gyro, at least your criticism is valid, negging for a reason is fine by me i just said that because you didn't really seem to have a reasoning. thank you for reading and responding at least :-)
