Reviews reporting thread

I think we should report this in Errors & Omissions as well - the producer name should be Steve Ballmer

EDIT: Admins - leave this one in, it's a brilliant hidden joke...

Check on Scarsick, which I've said before, as there are lots of reviews that look suspicious (TR!P, Dusty Farts are a clear case - both joined the same day, submitted reviews only of scarsick with the same rating and within minutes of each other).

Checked them out, but no obvious signs of abuse. There is nothing to stop someone rating just one album.

I wouldn't say this review says much worth noting (maybe it isn't a masterpiece, but it is?)

I sorted the <> etc in the review.

should/could be corrected.

It could use some paragraphing as well. Very hard to read.

SIGUR RÓS — ( )
Review by feguiza

5 stars Last week I received my paycheck as always, so I thought why not buying a couple of albums now? The first one was Pink Floyd’s Meddle, I was hesitant about the second one, but my first idea was () by Sigur Rós…after reading the reviews posted right here I thought, maybe they’re right and this is not a very good album to buy, then I thought well I’ll buy Mogwai or Godspeed You Black Emperor.

I went to the store and my girlfriend told me, love! Buy that Sigur Rós album you wanted, it can’t be that bad, just try it and let’s see what happens. I can’t thank my girl enough for this, turns out this is one of the best albums I’ve heard by this band, at least it is their most Post-Rockish disc in their entire history. People hoped to hear a follow-up so similar to Ágætis Byrjun that were disappointed when () saw the light back then.

The bottom line is, if you don’t like this album or any of the songs inside it, chances are that you don’t even like Post-Rock in the first place, you might like Sigur Rós for their digestible chords and melodious vocals, but believe me when I say that Digestible does not necessarily means better and complex doesn’t mean bad at all. It’s just that with () Sigur Rós styled their music in a Godspeed You Black Emperor kind of way, their songs are long… really long…but they get somewhere, and when they get there it’s maybe the most worthwhile minute of the whole album.

Yes their other albums are good, and I do listen to them quite often…but musically this is by far their best and most amazing album to date, thanks god I didn’t pay attention to the bad reviews found in this place. Don’t you hesitate when buying () it’s just to great to be missed.

Does anyone else think that his review almost says nothing about the album, but more of how he acquired it? Not necessary, imo.

First two reviews of this album should be deleted IMO. The third one may stay.

Okey dokey, I just saw the issue brought up before, and felt that perhaps you'd want to do something about this.

It is a good review, however.
