Perhaps a good way to prove your point, Jerkface, would be to address the specific points of praise that others have put forth in reviews, comments in other threads, et cetera, and explain why you don't think they're legitimate. For instance, you think "the songs are way too long", but the song length isn't a downside for most people. Do you think long songs in general are terrible?
You say "nothing happens in them", but that's demonstrably false--there's more happening in the fifteen-minute Antique than in any given fifteen-minute chunk of most other albums I can think about, what with the different layers, textures, parts, recurring leitmotifs, whatever. Did you mean "nothing GOOD happens in them"?
Essentially, your argument boils down to the subjective "I just don't like it", which doesn't really compete with more objective assessments (especially when it seems to be based on some factually incorrect statements, and you don't seem to have actually listened to the songs beyond a cursory run-through looking for hooky guitar lines). The album can't be perfect--nothing is--so there's surely some REAL criticisms to be made. How about making them and explaining why they fatally wound the album?
