Comment:	I am not wanting to get a monopoly of this comments board (!), and I should really be asleep out here in China, but I hope you don't mind me replying to you, Noel. If you re-read my initial comments, I hope you can see that I am not in fact challenging his right to an opinion. Yes, I am well aware that everyone is welcome to share their opinion; If he doesn't like the album, that is completely fine. In fact, one reason I like the Anselm so much is because they are not to everyone's taste. My basic point, however, was that this review lacks any real content. He is welcome to his opinion, of course he is: the whole point of having spaces to write comments below is to challenge that opinion and his review. What I have been trying to do is to pick apart the lines of the review and show how it actually tells the listener very little regarding the composition of the album as a whole. There has been a lot of talk about "litmus tests" (a limited analogy, I must confess and apologies for using it), but let us ask the simple question: does the review above really tell the reader about how the entire album hangs together? My conclusion is that it doesn't, but I understand many will continue to disagree with me.

Tell us the details of your complaint:
