Probably not, it follows the guidelines. Its a horrible review and I disagree with every word, but he expresses his opinion on the album, and actually talks about music. still, I would love to have it deleted |

 YES - Close to the Edge (1972)Review (Permanent link) by Hawkeye @ 6:26:40 PM EST, 8/31/2005 — Well, here is is folks- the MOST OVERATED ALBUM ON THIS SITE. Easy..no doubt about it. The "epic" close to the edge- starts as a headache- the 1st 3 minutes sound like a truck filled with musical instruments colliding with a wall- its horrible- not untill the femanistic vocals come in does the song take a slight change for the better. Yes- he sounds like a woman. The lyrics are not as 'deep' as everyone says- instead, they are rather basic- most liekly sophistcated to an 8th grader. Dont try to analyze "Seasons Change..I get up..I get Down" ust meaningless lyrics. The rest of the album is DULL- nothing great here at all- but a headache, and an oveerated pile of trash. BLAH!!! DELETE OR NOT???

Joren, I can't move reviews to a different album to the one they were submitted for. I've e-mailed the reviewer though, and asked him to re-submit under the correct title. Thanks Hugues, I tend to agree with you. |

I see no problem with that review! Even if it does not really talk about the music , it says he loved Yes until that disastrous (for him) album. The fact that he never listened to them again maybe a little obtuse but I have no problem with this review. |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Thanks for taking a look at the Baby Snakes review! But couldn't you just have moved it to the DVD, instead of deleting it? Or was the review bad? (I don't remember)

John's gone! I'll have a think about james mcconnorson's . I agree it's weak, but it's kind of poetic don't you think? |

I agree with his second paragraph, but it has nothing to do with the album. |

YES Fragile
Review (Permanent link) by james mcconnorson @ 10:22:01 AM EST, 2/19/2004 — As a infactuated young man lost in this crazy world in the the late 60's, hearing 'Time and a word' for the first time quite simply became a religious experince. A proverbial musical road to Damicas experience. Life suddenly had a meaning, a direction. I was in love. As my first encounter with the spectualar, fasinating, beautiful music of Yes, I felt overwhelmed that a band was basically making the type of music I had been waiting my whole life to hear. The 'Yes Album' followed and left me incapable of functioning as a normal cilivan in society. All i wanted to do was lie on my bed and indulge myself in that magical album. As you can imagine, I was feverlishing anticipating the next release. After what seemed like years of waiting, the new album was released. I lovingly and carefully placed the fresh, shiny vinyl on my record player, pressed play, and then......DISASTER STRUCK. After a few humilating, soul-destroying listens of the whole record, i reluntantly had to come the conclusion that i had just purchased a fully blown 100% authentic STINKER! The very next day, after waking up, i quickly spun th e record again, in the naive, misguided hope/dream that the day before's nasty experience was just a dream....BUT NO....It was real alright!!! To this day, over 30 years later i rigidly stuck to my promise that i would never listen to THAT band ever again. I can proudly declare (boast) that i have never even CONSIDERED it! Not much of a review either... A personal experience w/out explaining what is so bad about the album

 YES - Fragile (1972)Review (Permanent link) by john @ 1:50:47 PM EST, 8/30/2005 — Jimmy young was right to give this album a low score. he is also a nob because roundabout is the only decent song on it, roundabout rocks.And what idiot said it was self indulgent, isn't that what music should be about? would you rather them not indulge themselves and enjoy playing their music? would you rather them make music just for the cash, trying to please all tastes to keep it rolling in?

The words "One of these days I'm gonna cut you into little pieces" appear in the "Pink Floyd in Pompeji" movie in written form, so people can hardly be wrong about it. |

Thanks Damen, Joren, I'll have a look at them. Tux, as rule, I'll usually delete the text and leave the rating, so they become ratings without reviews. If I'm e-mailing the reviewer, I offer to delete the review and rating, so they can re-submit an appropriate review. |

QUEENSRYCHE Operation: Mindcrime
Review (Permanent link) by DeGarmo @ 10:08:04 PM EST, 6/26/2005  — This is a Masterpiece!!!...what a great album...with this record, Queensryche show us their hability to make new things...this album make a change on the music of Queensryche...this is a Prog album Not much of a review, doesn't say anything about the album
QUEENSRYCHE Operation: Mindcrime
Review (Permanent link) by hammill @ 4:48:27 PM EST, 6/11/2005 — well it was released the same year with iron maiden's 7th son of a 7th son. when someone asked bruce dickinson if 7th son is the highest moment of creativeness for maiden he said yes, but there is a long way to go and reach perfection after the new standards that ryche set with operation midncrime. well bruce said it all. Barely talks about the album at all, mentions Iron Maiden instead QUEENSRYCHE Operation: Mindcrime Review (Permanent link) by John @ 9:55:10 PM EST, 9/1/2004 — This is an example of the perfect album. It doesnt get boring.......I cant even explain really. You must get it to understand its greatness. The strongest track is easily The Mission.That is a great and powerful song. It is a great and powerful album. He doesn't really give a review, he even says he can't explain anything in his review
QUEENSRYCHE Operation: Mindcrime Review (Permanent link) by George @ 3:30:49 PM EST, 2/6/2004 — Forget Dream Theater! Forget Master of Puppets! This is (and will ever be) the best metal album of all times. After operation, everything got worse. Metal doesn't get any better than on I Don't Believe in Love or Eyes of A Stranger. Even Maiden and Priest didn't release anything that came close. Says nothing about the album
That's all, for that album. |

Sure thing Easy! I'm around, maybe not as often, but still here. Think my reviews are usually objective but I try not to lose the right amount of bitterness within some of them! Cheers!

That's actually pretty hilarious. "There are some good songs on this album" - but if there are only 3 tracks on the album, where are the bad tracks then? |

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

— 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!!
