PINEAPPLE THIEF Variations on A Dream progressive rock album and reviews PINEAPPLE THIEF - Variations On A Dream (2003)
Review by Dan @ 3:02:15 PM EST, 5/27/2005
5 stars  —   EXCELLENT!!!!! FOR FANS OF RADIOHEAD, PF AND PT. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!! I know this is a crap review but I just can't be bothered, I've got better things to do with my time than writing reviews. Suffice to say that you'll LOVE this album if you're under 30 and you like Prog. Tihs album is beautiful.... another 'OK Computer'.... Extremely worth a listen...


If only all prog reviews could be that slack!

I know!  That was exactly my reaction when I saw it!! 

"I'm gonna start a review, but I can't be arsed to do it properly or finish it... so there!"

Well, this site is trying to build up the most comprehensive compendium of Prog Reviews.. and it takes all shapes and sizes!

Okay, so, if you just turned out 31, avoid this album!

That is some high quality stuff. At least he admits its a crap review.

I would actually buy the record based on that review.  Sometimes you just want someone to tell you as concisely as possible to go buy a record - this review achieves that.

Can't wait for some more reviews by this guy; they're 1000 times better than any review I've read in NME.

Ha, like the one above me said, so what you're telling me is once I turn thirty-one, I'll suddenly stop liking them?

Maybe he's saying that the older generation of prog fans might not like it as much as the younger generation
