Sora-kara, haha, I think there should be more reviews of reviews, actually! I'd love to read one of your reviews

I already said enough on my previous post. The bit about identifying how things work and why they work. Having musical knowledge does not automatically equal to an obligation to use music theory when writing about music. Anyway, how profoundly can you (not you, specifically) talk about music without coming across as an arse? At its purest it's so abstract that to make sense of it through some kind of deep "reading" ends up in ridiculous overstatement. Also, if you read more from his site, then the context in which he writes these reviews becomes a little clearer along with what kind of stand he takes when considering music.
Also, see keikeiaznqueen's quote from the website on post number 20. (Thanks, keikeiaznqueen!)
One thing that I like is that he never writes about Ayu's lyrics (although not by choice). Lyrics are the easiest musical element to write about.
