YES Close to the Edge
Review (Permanent link) by Drew @ 9:15:11 PM EST, 6/15/2005
2 stars  —  I think this is the most overrated album in prog history- I mean cmon! YES??? Yeah there are some good songs on this album- but its not the best prog- I really feel that people get this album to get in the prog- bandwagon. Good stuff- but not the best= not even close!!
 
Way too short, doesn't explain any of the points it makes.
 
YES Close to the Edge
Review (Permanent link) by Sam Kelley @ 12:51:26 PM EST, 3/11/2005
1 stars  —  I really don't dig this album. I would say that Tormato is better than this load of crap, and I hate Tormato! This album is as exciting and awesome as another Rolling Stones Greatest Hits. Don't buy this record. It is a waste of money and is totally overrated. If you are gonna gawk over a Yes album, let it be over Relayer. That album is duh bomb. CHA CHA CHA Cha Cha!
 
just bashing the album
 
YES Close to the Edge
Review (Permanent link) by José Manuel @ 10:50:15 AM EST, 3/19/2004
5 stars  —  when I heard close to the edge for the 1st time, I said "what the hell is that!!!", now it ended like my favorite song ever.

LISTEN; LISTEN; LISTEN AND LISTEN!!!!! I just don´t have other words to describe it.
 
Not a review at all
 
DREAM THEATER Train Of Thought
Review (Permanent link) by Prog-zilla @ 9:31:03 AM EST, 3/25/2005
1 stars  —  This is another pedestrian album from a highly overrated band. Don't get me wrong: these guys have chops to kill, but good chops do not make great progressive rock. The biggest problem I have with this band is that all their songs sound alike - melodically clumsy and harmonically poor. There just is not enough original ideas, although there are occasional interesting instrumental passages. The vocalist just sucks, and overall they sound like a neo-prog band on steroids.
 
not a word about the album, a revew if the band

I posted this in a separate thread, because it is a mistkae rather than abuse, but it will probably be noticed earlier here.

This archives entry refers to the double CD reissue of the two first Kayak albums (See see the sun, Kayak), but both the track listing and the one review posted refer to the single-CD re-issue of See see the sun, which has its own entry in the archvies as well.

PINK FLOYD - Meddle (1971)
Review (Permanent link) by zerpsed @ 9:11:25 PM EST, 8/27/2005
4 stars  —   The entire world is confused about the lyrics in Pink Floyd's song on the Meddle albumn "One of these days". Every source that I've come across states that the one line in this song is: "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little peices." All sources say that same thing and all sources are wrong. Listen carefully to the song and you will hear these words: "One of these days I'm going to drop from the human species." Now that you know this please help me communicate the correct lyrics to all of humanity, quickly before we all drop from the human species. Get the words out before it is to late. Let the record show that the correct lyrics was reveal on 08/27/05. thanks

Not really an abuse,I just am confused about two things...

  1. This is not a review of Meddle,just one line of lyrics from "One Of These Days".This should rather be in our discussion forums rather then the first page.
  2. His message is more like a prophecy."Let the record show that I,zerpsed,have revelead this on 08/27/05
  3. I think it actually IS "one of these days I will cut you into little pieces",as it is stated by hundreds of websites,including the official one.One man's word cannot simply changed that.Plus I myself hear CLEARLY that sentence.
Just a suggestion...

Not a review of the album. Plus, It's not true. It says "I'm going to cut you into little peices" on the Live at Pompeii DVD.

This guy reviewed the wrong thing:

This is obviously a review for the DVD, not the CD. Could you please move it? Thanks!

MAGMA Köhntarkösz progressive rock album and reviews MAGMA - Köhntarkösz (1974)
Review (Permanent link) by Lethe Italian Progressive Rock Band from Milan @ 5:25:12 AM EST, 8/27/2005
SPECIAL COLLABORATION
4 stars  —   Dated 1974, this fascinating as well sinister live from a dissonant band such as Magma was an important event, above all for the so called “Zeuhl” Music (think of the controversial French avant-garde albums, except on “Eros” by Dun, perhaps the best and too much intricate work of all time within this music genre…so accept or refuse them as for their difficult features, in their coherent nature!!).Nevertheless their lack of precise melodies, except on several interesting but disagreeable vocalizations, even by paying their tribute to Coltrane, make their job a complex and often unbearable number, which can disturb the common listener…well I don’t get crazy for their gloomy tunes of free music, in this sort of “ritual” mysticism , but of course -sometimes- I recognize the cleverness of their efforts inside, especially those ones by Didier Lockwood (an underrated English guitarist).

At the end erase "one star" at least, especially if you're not patient!
 
Someone has got his wires crossed here; neither does Didier Lockwood play guitar (he plays violin) nor does he appear on the album (he appears on the live album though)

I call it abuse...You?
I deleted the copy of the review. It was indeed offensive, no point in giving it oxygen here! EL

Review (Permanent link) by joao @ 9:22:10 PM EST, 8/24/2005
5 stars  —   The people that ares aying bad things about this record should be able to hear this is not fake and stupid metal sh**t that running these days so.The instrumental parts are never too long and rudess does and awsome job( much better that Moore s power metal kinda of playing).Petrucci is great again and can separate emotional parts in the ballads with more shreeding parts(please do not compare him to mamlsteen).Great record, if you are thinking of giving Dt a try please listen do not just hear like the jackasses on this site who gave less that 4 to this record.
 

A very funny review, surely written by a true metal-head!! (talking to shred, power metal with such a nice passion)

These two reviews of Hammill's "In Camera", submitted very close to each other, by a "Greg" and a "Gregory".  Considering the flood of Hammill reviews by the same guy...  perhaps something worth looking into.

An interesting point, Dargon Phoenix. Actually, I can remember some instances when bad reviews made me curious about an album. When the reviewer feels the need to bash an album for reasons which you find ridiculous, it might indicate a really interesting album.

I think the review unintentionally works, because it makes me interested in the album. I prefer my prog metal on the light side.

I red it too before you commented on it, but though it's not a perfect review, I'm not against it's remaining here.

hardly something anyone could find interesting to read, but not offencive, and clearly stating he finds it too light, whatever that means.

keep it, contact the witer if you can to make him return a better one, but the review in it self doesn't warrant deletion.

don't be surprised if I put it back on when you delete it

OPETH - Damnation (2003)
Review (Permanent link) by Robert Alcock @ 4:39:13 AM EST, 8/23/2005
1 stars  —   This album was a total disappointment for me. Opeth decided to put out 2 albums, with one heavy album and one lighter album. Deliverance was the heavy album and was in a similar style to Blackwater Park and almost as good. Upon hearing it, I thought "how could they put out a lighter album than this?" because it contains quite a few light moments. When I heard Damnation, I was shocked. It is an incredibly light album - so light that it doesn't fit into the prog metal category at all. It is painfully light! I gave my copy to a second hand shop because I couldn't bear to keep it.

If you are a prog lover who doesn't normally like prog metal then you might in fact like this album. I like many kinds of prog but I can't stand this album. If you're expecting prog metal from this album then you will be very disappointed.

Yeah - the guy is disappointed, yeah - it's very light, yeah - it's not prog metal. I think this review is terrible because it doesn't say a word about the music.

We cannot be seen to discriminate against people who have been through alien abductions.

Only joking, thanks again Trots!
