I give it one star
The internet makes everyone a critic - but fortunately it doesn’t make everyone a good critic. Everyone knows the quality of your average Amazon customer review, especially the one-star reviews.
Thanks to the Guardian, I’ve now discovered Cynical-C’s “You Can’t Please Everyone”, which collects the brilliant, misspelled contrarian wisdom of Amazon reviewers. You’ll need to devote a bit of time to reading these gems, but a few of my favourites are:
“The 80s produced some great artists like Rick Astley, Milli Vanilli, Culture Club, etc. Then this horrible Smiths abomination comes along and makes this cringe-inducing album.”
(Of “Moby Dick”) “Too nautical for me.”
Two thumbs up, guys.
this has been keeping matt busy (and quite hysterical) for a good while now, and counting!
