Reviews discussion - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I don't know any details, though I could see how such a review would not fit guidelines. I just got back from what should have been a 30 minute trip with my kids where my car broke down on the remote highway, lucky for me the two truck driver got there fast, but for the curious and if you didn't save it, I found it in google's cache:

Meddle Review

Very experimental. Wonder if I can paste it here while keeping the formatting.

Can these characters can form a coherent review by being put in some order? That would be neat-o.

So the removal of my Meddle review. I'm curious and I'd like an explanation. Complains? An admin decision? Just let me know.

IMHO the review should stand. I can't think of a better way to describe Meddle than the way you have.

That means a lot, Bob, thanks.

"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy

nitpicky I know. What is this business of people numbering their reviews?

^I moved your post.
Seems a little odd posting in a thread called ‘I really like your review’ and then starting out with ‘I hate’

I do agree with your point though. Rating anything based on how prog it is is futile. By that definition Henry Cow should be the most celebrated artist on PA.

I wonder what Silly Puppy Remixed would sound like......

I found your reviews outstanding, and wish I could write like you! So many reviews are stale and formulaic, forgetting that music is an art form, and therefore likely to elicit all sorts of different reactions. Kudos to David for thinking (and writing) outside the box Clap

I enjoy writing "outside the box" too, so maybe it's time for a tetrahedral album review, just as Logan suggested.

I have a proposition. How about a "please delete my rating thread" for those who want to revisit albums they've rated and leave a review so it can appear in new/on the front page

You have to send a PM to one of the Admins for that.
