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.


I don't want to rip on this guy, but these kinds of comments are so funny. No one admits this, ever. Also is there such a thing as a "professional english reader" or is that just a mistranslation from your native tongue? hehehe

Reviews rarely seem to get to the point without being pedantic about words, imo.

Eh

I have a hard time reading through Eli's reviews too for example

when he uses words like 'exacerbated'... Those are head scratching moments for me

I'm not faulting anyone

If I can't understand something it's purely my own fault

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 best reviews are the ones where you have no issues. If I use a word like 'exacerbated' it's only because it's easier than "this is made worse because of this." We aren't write pulitzer worthy prose here, plain english is what should typically be employed so your review reaches more people.

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.

That is literally the greatest summary I have read in my 4-ish years of being on this site.
