As long as people admit that
I've seen reviews before where the writing was so advanced I had to read it 2-3 times before I knew what was being said...but usually, they also have the most to say and they say it in the best way possible.

The only reason I write stuff is cause I wanna improve my knowledge of the english language
it hasn't worked out that well so far ;]

I DIDN'T TALK SHIT ABOUT IT!
I'm going to ask someone to fucking edit that sentence because I love that album and when I said it feels painful I was talking about the emotional response I get from it, in a sorrowful way, not implying the album is bad.
And I disagree Xeno, in that I think when I use round-about phrases like "this is made worse because of this" it devalues what I'm writing. It's too lengthy. Specific words exist to express specific ideas. If you want incisive, accurate and interesting analysis, you should want the right words to be used, not the easiest ones.

"The review was ((at least for me)) pretty hard to read through. I'm not a professional english reader and I had to concentrate a lot to understand all these intelligent words you used. "
yeah as strikey said you should kinda probably learn english more if youre going to read english reviews of things. or else just read reviews in your native language

Haha no qwe I just wanted to clarify why I understand his frustration. But when I read a review of something in French and I find it hard I don't think, "This dude should write in a simpler way so I can understand it."
soyeh

I'm curious as to whether the minutemen quote is intentional or a coincidence.

yeahyeah sure adam sure
i agree with you about things like that i mean if people expected reviewers on an english language website to write somethign that caters to esl people that would severely limit the variability of language etc and reviews would be even more boring

Haha. He's not singing either. It's Hopelandic; you probably know this. But there was a thread somewhere with everybody saying what English words formed in their heads when he sang that line. I found that fascinating.
Sucks that I don't find such intrigue in this record.
