A long time ago there was an informal competition for the longest PA review ever. I think Folly (now known as Pnoom!) won with a 5 page (in MS Word) long review of Tago Mago, which he later edited out to a decent proportion.

Five page? Confused

I'm not surprised that Tago Mago was the album, either.

Yeap. He was a man of excess, which also brought him the banhammer. LOL I see that he has since deleted the review alltogether, too bad.

Zebra reminded me of him a bit.

I don't know, I was having a break from PA back then. I was surprised to come back and see that the whole gang of young avant-troublemakers had vanished. At least him and Shakespeare were banned in the events.

I see that he edited most of his reviews to readable lengths, here's one that seems to have escaped: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=115890

There were other ones that were longer, though.

Spaking of reviews, Anthony, Beyond And Before is a hard rock song? We must have different definitions of hard rock in that case. Regardless of that, your review is excellent, and I liked the rating. I like that album a lot.

Hard rock by 60s standards.

Oh I see, you're referring to the level of heaviness. To me hard rock is a style (Deep Purple, AC/DC, Scorpions, that kind of thing).

Why would anyone in his right mind waste time on Tinychat?

I prefer to listen to some music and watch some football tonight. And eat some stuff.

    My review of Bath goes halfway into the fifth page of a MS Word document, single spaced and 12 pt. Times New Roman font.
