The reason these DSOTH threads are so long is

there are a few PF gurus herein that are hypersensitive and cannot understand that everyone does not place it at the top of their best ever list. Any detrimental comments about the album brings retaliatory threads that "have to defend PF's honor" or something like, since it is a top selling album, it has to be regarded as the best ever ("The masses have spoken"). Generally, most folks on this site are pretty tolerant and don't go off if someone dissents from their opinion about a favorite song or album. The back and forth jockeying starts up, goes off on tangents, and usually the PF afficianados digress to name calling. This has been occurring with some frequency lately with the DSOTH album discussion. I do not recall seeing this type of confrontation about other albums so maybe you have to consider the source.
I recently posted about how much I like Simon's Graceland and I how I love the musicianship, et al and, to me, it is an epic album. Most of the posters agreed and some liked Hearts and Bones as much or more. That's cool. I wouldn't give a rip if someone posted Graceland sucks. I wouldn't even respond because it would their opinion.
Well, it seems the PF lovers get a little hot under the collar and take a personal offense to divergent comments about their fav band. And on and on it goes, where it shall stop nobody knows.
