How many reviews do I need to write to become a Prog Reviewer? ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

Just a friendly word, Bartek.
The tag (prog-reviewer, collab) means nothing if the person behind it does not justify it (in several means). And on the other end, the lack of a tag does not make you any less worthy. I think you are a valuble member and like your reviews and appreciate the work you've done on adding Nurt - which helped me get acquainted with a Polish band I did not know (and I hope to learn more from you as well as from others).
Keep on the good work, and I believe you will earn your objective. ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

Well said Avestin,
The other general point I'd emphasise is that it is not just about quantity. The quality of the reviews is a big factor in the consideration of future PRs.

I will never gonna be a Prog Reviewer!!! My english sucks and I just contribute to this great website with three of four adds of bands/albums/bios... Buaaaaaaaa!!! Anyway... don't care... the site is great and I feel that I don't need to be a Reviewer or a Colaborator to keep helping PA with some little but always important details... Peace & love and keep on proggin'! ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |

If you don't feel you reviews are up to it progadicto, how about a collaborator role.
There are numerous specialist teams and other tasks which are shared among the collaborators. Have a look at the Collaborator list (from the tab on the home page) and see if any of their titles appeals to you.
(This isn't an offer as such, jsut a pointer in the right direction
 ) |

In fact, we are "in need" of Technical Collaborators... some guys are doing a double-journey and they need help. 
Anyway, the request for promoting a senior member to the Collab role comes generally from the team leaders.  ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

The Genre Specialist Teams, SD... some are in lack of people while some guys (Collaborators and SCs) are doing jobs here and there to help these teams less populated.
For the promotion case, it's expected that the new Collab may have a good relation with their team mates. That's the reason, in general, the request comes from the team leaders.

^ I see. Thank you for that clarification. I have been away for a while and am slowly feeling my way back in. I was wondering if a diferent job might help, that is why I was curious.

If I review all the albums that I have of one band (like I have 14 Rush albums)and they seem to be good, would that help contribute to being suggested as a PR? Or should I review a diverse selection of albums? |

i also want to collaborate, either with reviews which I think are decent enough or any way of helping, this site's been so great. My english is also not perfect but I wonder, I'd like to contribute more. -------------

Ok... thanks Easy Livin... but as I said no matter what the role I will try to keep collaborating with PA... it's a personal compromise and a way to retribute all the things that I listen and learn from this page... Cheers!!! ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |

Haha Chus, if you put Green Day on this site, I'm sure they could push Saddam's execution back a few days so we could fit you in first!
Just some good clean fun, buddy!

| I'd like to be a reviewer, but I think I give out too many five star reviews, though I've looked over my reviews and can find no more than 1 or 2 that I would lower to four. It's only gonna get worse since I haven't finished Floyd and I haven't started three of my favorite bands, Ayreon, VDGG, and Genesis. Still, I try to at least write a quality review. If I don't talk about each song I at least sum up the album's cohesiveness. I won't beg yet sonce I'm pretty new but I hope I'll be a reviewer in the not too distant future |

They need another Rush fan like you (I'd tell you what's going on but it'd be revealing collaborator secrets). @ Micky-------------

Hey, Prog Reviewer, I could wear that title nicely haha.
I don't have many reviews right now, 21 i think, but If somebody wouldn't mind taking a look at them and telling me what they think so I dont make a fool of myself when I get more, I would appreciate it, and maybe give out candy!

Oh yeah good point there. There is a thread going on right now about the execution, but be warned before entering it! There is a good ol' brawl going on right now about an eye for an eye and all that stuff, so be armed with a Bible ------------- Beauty will save the world.

Progismylife,
Why not get in touch with a member of the Art rock team and discuss your thoughts with them?

Okay, I might do that. AS soon as I'm done reviewing a few more Rush albums. |
