What!!!!! How could you give it that insulting rating.

A 10/10. And it's an honest rating. It's not just for it's height, but it's architecture really is great. I love the top. It's not just a building it's art.

Love this building...

10/10

June 15th, 2003, 10:53 PM

I had to give it a 10. It deserves nothing else BUT a 10!. I truly is the queen of not only art deco but of all skyscrapers. A masterpiece.

Galactica · June 26th, 2003, 11:04 PM

I would like to see some pics of Hong Kong, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Dubai, Singapore ....... from 1931.

Pure art 100/100 (10/10 is not enough )

Since you define it that way, atleast understand that everyone's taste in art is different, skyscrapers included.
Personally I can't understand why people like to look at stone buildings, there's just no beauty in them. (from my point of view atleast. No need to attack me...)

Kevinkhoo1986 · July 4th, 2003, 02:10 PM

6/10 hmmm the top isnt look nice.. i hate the design..

Hacksaw · July 5th, 2003, 11:25 AM

Looks a little thin to me, but considering when it was built and the height, a 9.

deep sea buildings · July 17th, 2003, 04:16 PM

it lost the race for height against the ESB but remains NYC's most gracefull....simply put, a masterpiece!!

9.5/10

August 13th, 2003, 03:12 AM

looks like someone gave this superb tower a 3 or lower 22 times, jealous losers...

August 13th, 2003, 06:51 AM

Oh come on, for cryin' out...

Why couldn't this vote go any higher?! I had thought that when this was posted a while back, but an 11 should have been added. Those who are fans of Spinal Tap, heh heh heh he-

But again, >99999999999/10 ( > is "greater than")

I was thinking about something else here, and it occured to me: how could anyone look at that and not be moved spiritually? How could one actually deny the presence of God when viewing such awesome and spectacular beauty? If anyone needs proof of divine gifts, here it is.

Dennis · August 14th, 2003, 03:29 PM

one of the best skyscrapers ever!

10/10

I can deny it, quite easily.

I think you are going a bit too far.....after all, this 'miracle' of a building was built by man....

LOL-That certainly wasn't Chrysler's or Van Allen's intent but ok.....

Do you feel that when you see a Chrysler mini-van too?

Anyway, I don't think very much "spiritualism" was going on in the Cloud Club during prohibition.
