BTW, CLOFUR45's reviews show quite some knowledge (unlike the other "Masterpiece - Five stars" dude), so it's sad he posts them in french and in offensive CAPS LOCK

I agree with Claude. The reviews are good and well written - but in French and caps-locked. Too bad.

Sorry for disagreeing - but no, they are not. Two lines of text suffice to express a - strong if highly subjective - opinion, but they are insufficient to place that opinion in its proper context and explain it (which, in my opinion, a "review" should aim to achieve).

These professorial and literary analyzes are usually paid articles and often fail to say if the music is good, beautiful and pleasant, as they are diplomatic to not hurt the music label/artist.
I prefer the real crude truth.

Jeez! Greeting somebody new who went through the trouble of providing French non English speakers with a review and probably did not know about the caps meaning with such a thread is equally rude! What is so hard about a nice post saying: Dear Clofur45, nice of you to join us! Just for your info, it is regarded as shouting when you write all in caps (all big letters) and hard to read, please be so kind to change that in the future. And if possible, offer a translation in English as well. Thank you! Happy listening and posting.

I cannot believe this hostility here.

Hey Ear - do you mean this?

Cher Clofur45, gentil de vous joindre à nous! Juste pour votre information, il est considéré comme crier lorsque vous écrivez tout en majuscules (les grosses lettres) et difficile à lire, veuillez avoir l'amabilité de changer cela à l'avenir. Et si possible, proposer une traduction en anglais. Je vous remercie! Bonne écoute et l'affichage.

Why would you expect CLOFUR45 do comprehend an English admonition? For the record, I am one of the folks who found his "reviews" as not helpful for many of the reasons already espoused here (but the all caps doesn't really bother me).

Seconded, the rudeness shown by most of the posters here is pathetic, and the main reason I rarely comment here...
