So are you or are you not saying these people in France are ignorant, or will you do some more tap dancing?
Most French people, like most people everywhere, are ignorant. That however has nothing to do with why UEDS wasn't popular. Ignorance is a state of not knowing facts. That UEDS is a good album (or a bad one) is not a fact. One cannot be "ignorant" of that in either direction.

In any case, I am under no obligation to like or dislike something on the basis of popular vote. Art is not a democracy, it's anarchy, and I, like everyone else, am a law unto myself.

Bottom line is except for the limited amount of people in these forums, I haven't heard any one of significance say that this a good album in any kind of way.
"Significance" is also a subjective judgment on your part. And again, any such assertion by anyone, significant or otherwise, is irrelevant. The quality of an album (or any other work of art) is a subjective judgment, not a fact. Assertions about it are neither true nor false. No evidence can exist in support of them, and any evidence offered in support of them is always false. Every assertion you have ever made trying to prove that UEDS is bad is false. Every assertion you or anyone else will ever make trying to prove that UEDS is bad (or good) is false. Every assertion ever made by anyone throughout all time trying to prove that any work of art ever created is good or bad is false.

Clear now?

Another opinion. Could be wrong. Could be right, but like I said, all it is, is an opinion.
When we're talking about works of art, "could be right, could be wrong" is also false. Such assertions are neither right nor wrong, always.l
