^ Then why bother come here it all? No one who creates something can have their own opinion about it? A musician or an artist can have no feelings one way or the other about what he writes? Get over it! This topic was about what people thought they did best not a mental masturbation exhibition of pats on the back.

My god, if you lot were chocolate you'd eat yourselves.
I have never, nor will ever, buy or get my mitts on album, that has been reveiwed on here. Too much personal taste, and nonsense written for my liking. I like go else where for my music, where conceited prats aren't welcome.
What a stupid topic, this is my best? For gods sake, only people reading your reveiws can state such a veiw, and not the reveiwers themselves. Edited by spacecraft - August 28 2006 at 20:01 |

I feel the same way  my reviews are like....me.... sort of all over the place and leaves you scratching your head 
I really couldn't pick one of them that I'd hold up as a good one...
definitely not against the many excellent reviews spotlighted here..
.though IF I had to pick one.. it would be YS.. (that one has got the
most personal replies back to me) or TFTO which I think I nailed why it
is a 5 star essential masterpiece of prog.. and any who don't rate it
that way... shouldn't be reviewing  |

I must admit my reviews are not that great...I do make an awfull lot of spelling mistakes...jujuju, and Im in no way to be compared to say erik, Progtologist or Ghost rider...
But I guess my review from Deloused in the commatorium is pretty descent, as another reviewer called my name in his review to say he feels the same way about the record...and then there is also Rush Counterparts...which I gave 2 stars! |

I'm quite fond of this review of mine-
Guapo- Five Suns: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=85711  EDIT: I'll note that I really do think my early reviews are poorly written (I've rewritten a few of them but they all need a redo as most of them suck)...  Edited by Cygnus X-2 - August 28 2006 at 22:11 |

I've never managed to write a review myself. I had a plan to start with my own top ten sometime ago, so I started with Pawn Hearts. It never got finished. I remember when I decided to look for ispiration here, these two reviews impressed me:

I think that review is essentially "British" as is the album.Its very clever because it makes as much sense as the lyrics but makes perfect sense to me as does the album....err if you know what I mean? I'd be sick as a parrot if you deleted it....

Well, I recall someone actually copied it some time ago, replaced ELP with Rush, and that one got deleted... It's excellent from where I'm standing though. BTW: my own favourite review (out of 3) is for Blackmore's Night - Past times with good company. My first. It will be topped by another one shortly... |

Thanks!

Hmm, in this review of AKTUALA's "La Terra" I think I managed to describe the music in quite colorful ways: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=84063

It's albums like this that finally weened me off Spider-man comics and
soccer star trading cards. The gatefold cover alone puts it in my top
three of all time and the lyrical content is a truly religious
experience. I only hope that new listeners can hear why we are all
giving it five stars. No matter how innovative contempary prog bands
are, I don't see another "Pawn Hearts" on the horizon.
