Several of Jalas reviews dealt with OG, clear breaches of the reviews guidelines.

Nothing really bad about this review, but in the KC 'LIzard' review, there are no punctuation marks at all, which makes for a difficult read.

There's a pretty inappropriate review of Sgt. Pepper's showing on the main page right now. It includes obscenity, so you're going to want to delete that right away.

Don't worry, bub, it's dealt with.
I still won't change my opinion and Muse, but I'm fine with it having been deleted. *shrugs*

> Someone tell this guy to use some punctuation!
I agree to that. Also, some of these reviews lack information about the album in question. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=92782 http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=92784 http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=92781 http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=92779 http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=92778 I think English language is his main problem, maybe we can help him?

Someone tell this guy to use some punctuation! 
the people that dont give 5 stars to these work its not just with this its not like
leftoverture but dust in the wind is a extraordinaire theme because its not too long or
complicated but is very very beautiful and the letter is very ok. |

A few reviews from "thehttp://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=3056 (nothing personal):
1)
 I am sitting at my computer after a full viewing of this movie. I am literally disgusted, and feeling sick after viewing this. I will not say it was a complete waste of money, but dear god, this is AWFUL. I will never watch this film, ever, ever again. This coming from a fan, who loves plenty of Floyd albums...This is disgraceful.If the entire band was into producing this, and thought it was successful, I have lost a TON of respect. I always considered them overrated, but now I am almost baffled at the fact that this album, let alone the movie, is so raved about. Comfortably Numb is a great song, but it is hard to find much else. The Final Cut is far superior to this. This movie had me talking to myself in disgust while watching it...my hand on my chin in absolute shock at how miserable a movie could possibly be. I still am stunned!! Wow, wow, wow! I need to go put on animals or something to try and redeem the greatness I once saw in some Floyd stuff... 2)
 Give me a break Crimson fans! This here has to be one of the most dissapointing albums i have ever purchased. I mean, I love king crimson, i think they have written some great stuff, but this? Terrible. Cirkus builds you up to a potentially good corus, and hits you with this flat horn eerie annoying sound, like whoa, is every song like this!??!And ofcourse, they mostly are, track 1-3 are miserable, not to say uninspired tracks, but more inspired by crappy sound. Lady of the dancing water is simple, and nice, anyone couldve written it, its no Cadence and Cascade by any means. Lizard...hahaha, wow, WHY DID THEY DO THIS!!!!?!?!? I still, to this day, have no idea why this song is 23 minutes long. The first part of this song is, to say the LEAST, amazing. Jon andersons vocals and the melody struck me so hard, I can safely say it is one of if not THE best crimson song, or part of a song, ever. Sadly, it should have ended after the first 4 and a half minutes...but not, it drags on for another 20 minutes. Those 20 minutes of lizard are terrible, annoying horns going off, no structure WHAT SO EVER. How do you go from jon andersons first amazing part to thiS!!??! Miserable album, NOTHING like wake or court, which are both AMAZING. I would recommend it JUST for lizard, it is a must hear, the first few minutes at most. Very dissapointed, as everyone here gives it 5 stars and the first thing they say is "Its very hard to get into", yeah, its not 5 stars then, most people here can HEAR great music their first listen, it doesnt need to be driven into you. Just because you listen to the first 3 tracks fourty times that doesnt make them suddenly good, your just getting used to the terribleness. 5 songs, 3 are bad, 1 is good, 1 is 1/5 phenominal. Check it out if you need to. 3)
 An interesting album, of which i suppose is on the archives because of me :) cool!!The version of pinball wizard on here is pretty awesome actually and has alot of power in it...i love it. The rest of the album is pretty much standard 60's rock, nothing too great, really a mediocre album...but the pinball wizard cover is a must listen for fans of The 4)
Overall, a good album. Cadence and Cascade is unbelievable, and probably the best crimson song next to lizard. Wake of poseidon is also amazing, very court like.Not much to say about this album, it is well structured, comes out pretty good, some terrible songs mixed in the bag that just shouldnt exist (as is always true with crimson) but overall a good package. BUY THIS ALBUM for cadence and cascade, it is unfriggenbelieveable. That is the highlight, everything else is decent next to it, wake is best also. Good stuff, 3/5  |

i'll be honest with you. i cant understand this: "i have read 20 reviews and i hear 20
different opinions, not so much about the album but about the way you, the listeners, are
attracted to dream theater. one guy wants dream theater like that, the other like that
etc..Why is that happening? i, personaly, love the basis of their music, the format. i dont
care if octavarium should be characterized as "prog" or not.Does it matter? For God's
shake!you shouldnt be cared about "categories".i think that prog, in your language, among
others means for open-minded. Now.. i love every note that comes out from this
band.EVERY NOTE. I think nothing will dissapoint me in the future also. I suggest that to
some prog listeners who hate or love dream theater. You should always think what the
band wants to achieve and treat it like that!You people think that if i dont like this, then it
doesnt worth!tell me that you dont like octavarium, that it doesnt express you: i
understand!i am with you!But dont tell me non-sense like "lack of
inspiration", "after "scenes" they play crap" or "they should be back in "awake" era sound
(!!!!!i cant believe what i hear). the band knows more than anyone where it goes and it
f.....goes excellent. you should not care also which of their album is their best!what is this?
some kind of contest? is it an olympic sport e.g. "who jumped further"? its just music!so do
not fill yourself with such anticipations cause there is no sense at all.the band itself doesnt
care to try prove something to anyone.As for Octavarium, its their most mature work..its
dynamic, modern and diverse..
