^indeed, your SFaM review is a clear example of that

but it is consistent.... I didn't like the album.. does this mean it is NOT a masterpiece (or near) of prog metal???

I am tempted to give The Crane Wife 5 stars. The only thing holding me back is that about half of it isn't prog. But then again, neither is Minstrel in the Gallery, and I rated that 5 easy.......hmmm...

In my very humble opinion, being prog or not should not be grounds from refraining from a 5-star rating. Many of my 5-star reviews are of prog-related albums. What I generally do is mention the 'prog quotient' of the album in the final paragraph, so that people won't mistake any of those albums for the second coming of Foxtrot or Close to the Edge .
|
And see, that's why reviews are important. As a rule, I don't rate prog-related albums a 5, but there are a couple of rare exceptions.
