No review would ever be deleted simply because an artist did not like what had been said. A site rule would need to have been broken. What does seem odd in this case is that this was the only album you have so far reviewed Ootsandoots. Nothing wrong with that, but it does seem an odd choice.

As has been suggested, try re-posting the review. It is good to get a cross section of reviews, especially for an album which appears to be subject to some hyping.

I just finished my review and added it in.  It's pretty long so I won't copy it here.

^ I read the review ... I know what you're talking about (I'm a musician myself), but I don't think that the kind of innovation you're looking for is *that* important for the rating. I only listened to the album once and gave it 9.2 on my website (marked "first listen") ... I think that the album will drop a little bit on further listens (most albums do) but I doubt that it will drop below 8.0, which would make it a solid 4 star album.

Still, nothing wrong with your 2 stars!Smile

That's better.Clap
 
While I don't entirely agree with your views on the album,which I think is pretty good,your review explaining why you didn't care for it was much better this time around.
 
Thanks for being civil and mature about this whole affair.

I remember when a Phideaux dude joined the site about a week ago and I was very astonished when I saw his profile..... Obviously, my first impression of it: "he's a fanboy", but probably not...... how could we know?

And I'm even more astonished when I read the first post here..... about the attacks. Indeed it's a shame, but it's also very curious and, from certain point of view, a bit funny. I'm expecting anxiously the result of Progto's investigation of the affair, though.
The best you can is good enough...

EDIT (PREVIOUS POST REMOVED):

Ahhh, another faux pas...  posting the correspondence between myself and the lovely Ooots.   (it has been removed!)

At any rate, I will assure the readers that everything is now squared away between myself and Oots.  I would like to think we are lovely mates now.

The attack wasn't really an attack as much as a slightly snarky welcome and allusion to the faint possibility that Oots had joined the site for the express purpose of trashing the album.  There was even a thought in my mind that Oots hadn't heard the album but was a mischief maker. 

Upon reading Oots' second review -- which is truly quite in depth and precise -- I realized that Oots was really just a disappointed consumer and was honestly trying to save others from the mistake he/she made.

Since that day, Oots has also reviewed other albums.  At the time of my attack (aka correspondence) Oots had only ever reviewed one single album on the site.

Oots, of course, was offered a full refund for the album (I know how disappointing it is to buy an album that everyone is raving about -- only to discover the Emperor's clothes are naught).

So, hopefully no hard feelings and DEFINITELY no worries that we/I are trying to modify opinion about our works.

BTW:  that is a very good album title "Phideaux Attacks".  I hope you won't mind if we use it some day.  I'll be happy to give credit where credit's due!

One thing please Phideaux....it is against forum rules and guidelines to post the contents of PM's in the public forums.
 
So please refrain from doing that in the future,but thanks for coming back in this thread to try to clear things up.
