For the reviewer, the reviews are in
And now for a review in English . . . please [“Welcome to His Jungle” by Ann Powers, Nov. 23]. What a long-winded diatribe that is completely useless other than illustrating why art critics are deluded, self-important wannabes.
What is a rococo guitar riff? What is florid loveliness?
If “November Rain” moves you, the joke is on you.

I respect music critics for their reviews, good and bad, as a music fan.
But this may be the first time in my 30-plus years any critic has talked loud and said nothing. I don’t know if you even liked the darn thing or not.
Just because Axl Rose decided to stop acting the rock diva doesn’t mean the review has to be as long-winded and as pompous as the person who made the CD.

The article tackled the album perfectly, and the album itself provokes thought.
To all these pinheads dissing the article’s prose, take your Adderall and grow a brain.
