kagami,
Aggressive was the wrong word, I'll admit as I read over AHSs comments, but I certainly stand by defensive. And secondly, I never specifically labelled Delirium-Zer0 as being either of those two things, in fact, I thought her idea that "It feels like someone at allmusic staff gave it three stars, but someone else on staff had to write the review and they were assigned "make a review that says 3 stars." " was really insightful. I just debated her point that the reviewer changes his tone half-way through the album.
But, back to my defensive point. Your post is a perfect example. Just as you defend Delirium-Zer0 because you thought I was critising her entire point of view, so does most of AHS irrationally defend Ayu if someone with authority, such as the reviewer, critisizes her work. Everyone (generalisation, I know, but you know what I mean!) suddenly feels the need to diminish the person's authority as if the whole world needs to see Ayu as a perfect being. I mean...come on, get some perspective. There is plenty of talent out there.
The point of a forum is to discuss different points of view and ideas, right? So, is it so wrong of me to want to inspire some debate rather than blindly worship my J-Pop Queen and just dismiss everything the reviewer says as unsubstantiated and just plain wrong?
Damn, I like to procrastinate...
