Reviews discussion

Good to see he only rated it 4.5 ........ then rounded it up!

For me it's a big surprise listening to such an outragious and unfoundable accusation by you Trickster. I started to participate in progarchives as an official prog reviewer 2 years before you did, so I can't see how you know me so much to profer such serious attacks. I had my own reasons for not posting or making reviews for such a long time, and I don't need to give you those explanations. I will give them immediately to the site administrators, if they request. If I want to post reviews, I post them, could it be 1, 2 or 5 stars! No problem at all! I have no need in creating a paralel character. I see no purpose on that. And in some pshycospace album reviews, by the way, I have them reviewed to, and you'll see that, at least in one, I have a totally opposite opinion.

Your reviews, in my view, are very correct, the other day I was glad to see, for instance, that you were the only reviewer to state that Flower King's new album was regressive.   Hope this is no more than a misunderstanding. Cheers.

He was just kidding!

I, myself gave Flash Gordon 4 stars, and Atom Heart Mother is not to everyones tastes, not even to Pink Floyds! (Well Gilmour anyway)   Nothing properly with the ratings but more with the pattern, SD... I still believe this guy does not like prog at all.   Otherwise, I'm writing it here in the hope he sees it (as a visitor), do the registration and may come here to discuss their own reviews and the comments made.

I admit I have only seen a few of his reviews. I'll keep a lookout for more.

Actuallly.......

I'm only imagining the neo-prog fans seeing this!

How about putting a notice on the front page?

Dar psychospaces, would you please mind joining the discussion of your reviews in the forum?

ARENA — Contagion
Review by psychospaces

That's not to say that Arena couldn't write a good song but all the band is a joke. John Mitchell playing heavy riffs with the dated angelic choir keyboard on every song when the riff´s kick in. A good singer like Rod Sowden that sistematicaly insists on singing with that Shakespearean theatric ridiculous tone,etc,etc. This is just to bad to be real, and the only reason for this being so bad is that Arena wanted to write a satirical caricature of a neo progressive rock album and yes! they accomplished it very well.

Overall after four years this album sounds extremely out of date and quite unlistenable.
