Even not liking, the reviewer cannot be cynical or a bit disrespectful toward the artist and other reviewers.
 
Also, I agree with Fitz, think how revolutionary were at their time artists like Louis Armstrong, Tom Jobim, Peter Gabriel, etc.
 
I believe that with some edits the DSOTM review may stay - for awhile only the rating is preserved. I'll try to contact the reviewer.

OK, well if that's your attitude we don't need you here.

I didn't read the review, but if it just read like an angry review of the band Pink Floyd, and not an honest review of the album itself, then chances are it was just deleted.  You have your right to your opinion but the site policy is that reviews must be objective and preferably well thought out... not just the rantings of someone who hates the band.

And coming to the forum to insult the reviewers isn't gonna go well for you either, friend.  Unhappy

LOL Yes, we all love DSotM so much that we delete every review of the album that isn't completely flattering. Or maybe you review was deleted because it violated the rules of the site, which are all logical and well thought-out. Now which scenario is more likely....?
 
Now let's see how many instances of flaming are in that one post....

If your review contained as much information as what you're saying here about the album, I can understand why the admins deleted it ... it doesn't meet the requirements.

you should prehaps take it a little easy, what's the exact thing you wrote...the only way a review can be deleted is if it was unappropriate...not because of a rating or of a low one regarding a very acknowledge and appreciated, overall, album...

so let's discuss Smile

Wow... I submitted a not so flattering review for Dark Side of the Moon. Nothing offensive, I was just saying it was over-rated and nothing compared to what Yes and Genesis were doing at the time. I made the point that it doesn't matter if this is the best selling record of all time, it's just not interesting.
 
Well, I wrote another review of a different band today. After submitting, it showed a summary of my reviews. I clicked on the DSOTM one, and nothing was there!
 
So I went to the album page, looked it over, and my review was deleted.
 
Wow, so there is censorship going on? Cool, man. Very progressive of you guys.
 
OK, You win! Dark Side of the Moon is the best progressive rock album of all time. It is brilliant. My favorite part is when the woman sings those great R&B vocals. It's like American Idol and so cool. If a record has cool R&B vocals, it must be great. Simon would agree!
 
And BLUES! It's got blues guitar all over the place. How cool is that? Very original. You don't hear the blues represented much AT ALL in rock.
 
YES. That album is so original and one of a kind. Definately the best of progressive rock.
 
OK, I decided I have had enough of submitting reviews here. This is a loaded forum, and it is clear that people love their Stink Floyd a little too much.
 
The only thing of value on this site is the free music, so I can decide for myself if lemming reviewers are accurate, or just going along with the marketplace. The reviews are not really worth anything. They are just lame opinions, mostly from a bunch of nerds who know as much about music as they do about life...
