Re: Daily Song: Wasting Love
I have a more negative idea of the word mediocre (worse than this definition even), but maybe I'm exaggerating, and have misunderstood the word.
"Average" is one of the terms which could come after good.
Or "reasonable" or "tolerable" (?)
I apologize for my remark in my previous post (last sentence). I deleted it.

Re: Daily Song: Wasting Love
We're getting too far into semantics here.
But you have seperated votes into just "like" and dislike". And this also highlights the difficulties in analysing voting results when people are voting to different criteria. For example, you call a 5/10 a "dislike", when for me that gives an almost average score, and in the Iron Maiden catalogue that signifies a probably bloody good song and one which I like a lot. I realise that you're using those terms to try and analyse the votes against perceived perception of the album drawn from previous threads and discussions, but with people voting on different scales I think that's pretty difficult to do.

*splits a few more hairs*
I know people have different scales, but only a few have very different scales.
I have trouble making sense of your negative rankings while sometimes your reviews are positive, but as long as you are one of the few it's not too confusing for the overall view.
Back to the like and dislike.
This division I made -1-5 (dislike) and 6-10 (like)-, is based on grades we got on my own secondary school. A 6 and eveything else is sufficient (positive). A 5 is unsufficient and everything under it too (negative). This is not an abnormal system when I want to compare this with the overall tone I often read about this album on this forum.
I decided to use this perspective because in previous discussions this particular album was often trashed, indicating that someone who trashed it would give not higher than a 5 (a 6 is not crap, a 6 is not mediocre, a 6 is not bad).
Now I see that the majority of people have voted positive (6 or higher), and this changes the idea that I had.

Not to interrupt your discussion, but can I move this thread and put up the next one?

4. Terrible attempt at power ballads that were popular in early '90s metal music (Nothing Else Matters).
One of my favorite Maiden ballads. Bruce really tears it up on this song, and I must say that I think that his performance on this album is one of his best ever. 10/10.

9. I'm usually not much of a fan of ballads, but this is one of my favorite's on the album. Very beautiful song, great chorus, and I think this is one of the most underrated metal ballads out there.
