The text of the review sounds much harsher than 5.4, like +-4 or so. nevertheless, i suppose that those guyz wont like you a lot .

You're right, but then again the music isn't actually extremely bad. It's just really boring (which is almost just as bad in my opinion). It's the kind of CD I really don't want to listen to more than necessary and the kind of CD that really annoys me because I have to listen to it multiple times to be able to review it in a professional way, as a vent for that annoyance I write a negative review, but after having written the review and the annoyance is out of my system, I still try to give them a fair rating.
So you see? That's my problem when I have to write a review for something really lame
PS: I started not caring anymore what the bands I review think of me, if they send me an album and I enjoy it, they'll get a positive review as a 'reward'. If they send me an album that makes my stomache churn every time I have to listen to it, they get a negative review as a 'punishment'.

Yeh boring stuff is always like that. but then again, quite a few bands that i used to consider as "boring" ended up on the playlist a few months later, and then surprise surprise i got it .
few examples:
pestilence - testimony of the ancients, now i rate it among the best albums ever to grace metal. and still when i heard land of tears for the first time, it did nothing to me at all. it became my entry point into the rest of their stuff as well
deathspell omega - fas - ite. chaos turning into beauty .
tool, vader, porcupine tree, enslaved...no need to continue .
some music doesnt seem to be meant for short time examination even though through multiple listens.

Geeze, I thought that this was just a harsh review until I listened to the music... *SNOOOOOOOOOORE*
The guitars remind me of a Mexican folk band...

Well, like I said in the last paragraph of the review, that isn't the case here

Yeah right, most of the metal world seems to disagree with me on that

Don't worry, I try not to write harsh reviews if it isn't well-deserved by the band
I don't know any Mexican folk bands at all though

im not talking about number of listens, but time in general. you know, when the annoyance from the first listen fades away and when there is only a vague memory of boredom .

so do i . my first was ghost reveries and yeh i did consider the album boring at first as well, i remember how i empty i felt about baying of the hounds for example. still blackwater park and orchid are my favourites, not reveries, even though they are fun to listen anyways, it is not a bad album, really .
