I found this review to be somewhat irrational. The reviewer states that this album was a sellout and the songs weren't good, but doesn't give any reason why he thinks that, he insults the remaining members of Pink Floyd, he spells Roger Water's name wrong, and the review is hard to read.

DREAM THEATER — A Walk Beside The Band
Review by R_DeNIRO

3 stars I am totally agree with the "Dalezilla" review. Word by word these are my thoughts about this DVD, so: Why to write more?

Strongly recommended for Dream Theater fans, but not for the occasional listener. 3 stars.



should we say "Nice try"? Wink

MUSE — Absolution
Review by lffm

4 stars I wish I could give 4.5 stars.. but since I cant. this album gets 4 stars. Not as experimental as the album that follows it, but still an excellent listen, somewhat proggy, some what rockin, and yet very well thought out.



another one of very short anvergure.

Not very helpful regarding the album's quality (which we already know of course) and partly senseless review of the site...

5 stars The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a great Swan Song for Peter Gabriel. The first song which is the title song samples Felix Mendelsshon's 'A Midsummer Nights Dream'. It is a must for Prog-Rock. It mentons life in New York and it's almost a rock-opera. This could've been a good rock-opera play. And I'm surprised that the Who isn't mentioned as a proto-prog band. They made 'Tommy' and that album was a ground-breaking album because of that!

DREAM THEATER — Score: 20th Anniversary World Tour Live with the Octavarium Orchestra
Review by proglil49 (Julien Lavoie)

5 stars This is gonna be for sure a classic live album of prog music. The setlist is so great it's unbelivable. The perfomance of the band on this album is so wonderful, even Labrie dosen't miss a note! This album will stay one of my favorites for sure.



proud to say Approve that this has less that 50 words.

Well, I don't know what you imply by non-trustable, Guigo, we just make the attention and when you have time (or the PC becomes "trustable") can handle. No rush. Smile

Talk to pirrka = okay

I'm still using a non-trustable PC, James & Rico.
For the pirkka reviews maybe he made a confusion, it happened with other people before - gonna talk with him.

Identical reviews by the same author.

ZELLO — Quodlibet
Review by pirkka (Pirkka Ruishalme)

4 stars Nu ska vi sjunga lite polka!

This is extreamely interesting music. Original Swedish folk prog with melodies taken from scandinavian folk music like polka and played with keyboards and violin and a rhythm section. Among the keybs is Hammond and the great Tron. The tracks vary in length from 57 seconds to 25+ minutes. The music is imaginative and courage. It don't settle for simple folk tunes. It grows into symphionic measures and sounds like bands like Dream Theater do at their best, when not playing too metallic parts. So very strong and melodic music. The singing takes a liittle time to be accepted atleast in the first track Will Be The Wind. The melody is not easy or predictable. The singer is actually quite good.

I personally like the combination of modern symphonic prog and scandinavian folk melodies. Absolutely an excellent addition to whom so ever prog fans collection. Four stars.

That's ridiculous!  I notice his name too, is that supposed to be irony? LOL

And how can he review an album if he fell asleep!  This is the silliest review I've seen in ages.

It has to go!

Review by MANDRAKEROOT (Andrea Salvador)
Posted 4:45:49 AM EST, 5/16/2006

5 stars EPIC

I read (not memory where) yhat the lack of Rick Wakeman is that of to seek always inspiration to do history either from books of adventure or science fiction so than its music you become epic, he can vent in ridden solo without head and tail. But the same things come said from the same persons for Vangelis. And for Vangelis is a large Merit... For me it is also for Rick Wakeman... Or rather, the it is for a lot of Progsters (or Progheads).

As for this "The Six Wives..." is a large disc. It it contains excellent songs with large parts of Keyboards. The music is a Rock version of Vangelis, thing that is obvious in songs like "Catherine Of Aragon", "Annes Of Cleves", "Catherine Howard, "Jane Symour" and "Catherine Parr" to same level. "Anna Boleyn 'The Day Thou Gavest Lord Hath Ended'" is not very succeeded because to unite pieces of other songs to the actual music is not simple and here the what did not quite succeed. It hits like the typical characters of six wives of Henry VIII so quite demonstrator are represented like Rick succeeded to read the inside of the events, thing that the books does not come done.

If Wagner was still living has been proud of Rick Wakeman.

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.
 
Nuff said. LOL

1 stars MANIC DEPRESSION!

I did not understood the reason of this Tribute Album. Actual no there I succeed! Useless, cold, calculator... An album for does spend money and other nothing!

Nevertheless resonable they are the version of "I Can See For Miles", "I Don't Need No Doctor", "A Salty Dog", "Manic Depression" and "Wishing Well" that do not suffice to make off an album however useless. And here I close.

I do not words.

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

PENDRAGON — Not Of This World
Review by lgoffine (Luc Goffinet)

5 stars This one of the best prog record I've ever heard. Even if it is not new stuff to most people's ears, this is top- notch inspired music, and especially melodic (which is sometimes rare in the prog world). This record is better than all the others that they have made...



51 words, but SleepyAt most questionable.

Ivan, if he pays me enough money, I might even offer him some English lessons....Wink BTW, online translators - cheap or otherwise - are to be avoided at all costs, for a series of reasons I won't go into now. Personally, I think one should avoid writing in a language they are not good enough at... but that's just my usual, conceited-prat self!LOL
