Yeah I was going to put that Genesis review on here- very poor, and doesn't go into any detail about why the band or album is great...

GENESIS "Selling England By The Pound"  This cd is a wonderful opera. Love this band. I prefer the first genesis ( Peter Gabriel era). They were very important for my life. Phil collins here is superb.This is one of the best progressive albums in the music history. Buy it or die! thanks to genesis for such as masterpiece. My rating is 5 of course. Great cd! Amazing band! Sigh...the stereo typical fanboy review

The GG one is certainly lacking in any sort of detail. I'll e-mail the reviewer anyway, will decide later whether or not to delete.

PINK FLOYD "Piper at the Gates of Dawn, The"
Review (Permanent link) by Marquês Van Prög @ 3:59:51 AM EST, 11/3/2005 1967's "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" is the one that started it all for Pink Floyd, back in the early days when bassist Roger Waters, keyboardist Richard Wright & drummer Nick Mason were led by the genius, but doomed singer/guitarist Syd Barrett.This tells more of the band line up than anything else
 GENTLE GIANT "Octopus"
Review (Permanent link) by Tim Harn @ 11:08:23 PM EST, 11/2/2005 This is in every way a superb album and is one of the greatest albums in history. The album contains some of the very best songs you will ever hear, such as "Knots" and "River" which are mastifully written. I would reccomend this album to everyone who likes prog it is a MUST HAVE. This is also fanboyish

QUEENSRYCHE "Operation: Mindcrime"
Review (Permanent link) by Athanasios Patsos @ 12:46:41 PM EST, 11/2/2005 Not many words to say about this album... Everyone who has listened to it more than a thousand times knows... Incredible maturity and passion with theatrical elements makes this maybe the first prog metal album for someone to buy. Masterpiece of all times... Fanboyish..

No, records good from as reviewer says. Takes knock, but recovers center of mat. Not to delete, but to allow in now form. Sense of hardness in eye of prog, not of exist. Disks internet require understanding not lolling in "quite hard." |

 Symphonic Prog(Live, 2003) Review (Permanent link) by NEL NOME DEL PROG @ 1:01:26 PM EST, 11/1/2005  Waiting it has been a disk from 5 stars. If however it contained alone records of 1974. But also in this case would not deserve them because the sound is not good. But it is superior to a bootleg (the live LP of the PFM "Live In USA" nothing says?). The music stays from 5 stars, but the too variety between the two records penalizes too this (in the card) masterpiece. 5 stars for the music. 2 stars for the record of 1974. 3 for those of the '97/ '98. Therefore: 3,3ecc stars, in definitive. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________
Seems to me these potentially good reviews have been let down by a bad internet translator, but as a result they are quite hard to make sense of.

Easy Livin, If you want to replace the Spanish text of Muhammad Al Fatil's review of "Mirage", rather than just deleting it, then here is a translation, as it seems a shame to delete it. This does not seem to me to be an immortal work of progressive rock. If it is, I consider that it is only because it is one of those accessible and easily-digestible discs that help those who are not familiar with the genre to know its main parameters because, if it is full of something, this disc is full of clichés. Structurally and musically not much new was contributed here: the keyboard and guitar solos are strongly reminiscent of the Canterbury bands, especially the first CARAVAN ( Latimer's voice is very reminiscent of Richard Sinclair's voice, who would later join CAMEL), although I must recognize that the band shows an enviable musical guarantee and musicianship that cannot be refuted - the fact that they are not very original is another story. My favourite themes are 'Supertwister' and 'Nimrodel'. But I think that CAMEL giving of its best does not manage to place itself in the first division of progressive rock, that elite group in which I place GENESIS, KING CRIMSON, YES, VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, ELP or JETHRO TULL... Perhaps I discovered them too late... "Mirage" is a pioneer disc, for that reason the three stars.

Hi Pafnutij
Can you PM (private message) me with the e-mail address you would have put on your review. It's just so that I can validate it's really you asking for the deletion.

This may be a bit of a novelty, but I'm requesting my own review to be removed. As you can see, its quite stupid and unjust, as I didnt properly listen to the album, so therefore its uninformative and misleading and kinda embarassing too, so I'd like it removed pls CAMEL Mirage  — I've long considered Camel a second-tier band within the 70s prog scene, and this album does nothing to change my opinion, as it simply does not stand the test of time in terms of freshness and originality (and I doubt those qualities were prominent even when it came out in the early 70s). . The vast majority of the record is spent (wasted) in a rather hopeless pursuit of interesting harmonic ideas which, upon being discovered , are quickly drowned by filler. Thus, what we have here is hardly different from the self-titled debut (which is nothing special either) in terms of sound and approach - the melodies are mostly forgettable, the chord progression simplistic and predictable , Andy Latimer's vocals tired and bland, and the jamming over-extended and rather uninspired. In a way, every track provides hope with harmonic findings that could be turned into something far better if worked upon, but unfortunately, but the band doesn't bother to develop them any further, thus leaving "Mirage" thin and boring. And also, while I'm at it, take a look at this guy
CAMEL Mirage
Review (Permanent link) by Muhammad Al Fatil @ 9:21:40 PM EST, 7/1/2005 — No me parece que sea una obra inmortal del rock progresivo. Si lo es, estimo que es sólo porque es uno de esos discos accesibles y digeribles, que ayudan a quien no está familiarizado con la corriente a conocer sus parámetros principales, porque si de algo está lleno este disco es de clichés.Estructuralmente y musicalmente, aquí no se aportó mucho de nuevo: los solos de teclados y guitarra tienen una reminiscencia muy fuerte a bandas del Canterbury, especialmente el primer Caravan (la voz de Latimer recuerda mucho a la de Richard Sinclair, quien posteriormente se uniría a Camel), aunque debo reconocer que la banda muestra un fiato musical envidiable y una condición de buenos músicos que no puede refutarse -el que no sean muy originales es otro cantar-. Mis temas favoritos son "Supertwister" y "Nimrodel". Pero, pienso que Camel entregando su mejor obra no alcanza a colocarse en la primera división del progresivo, ese grupo elitista en el cual yo pongo a Genesis, King Crimson, Yes, Van der Graaf Generator, ELP o Jethro Tull... A lo mejor los conocí demasiado tarde... "Mirage" es un disco iniciático, por eso las tres estrellas.  |

AMON DÜÜL II Only Human
Review (Permanent link) by Lars Kristian Larsen @ 8:54:50 AM EST, 4/17/2005 5 stars — Try at least to get the line-up right. It is Klaus Ebert and NOT Erik Ebert that is playing Guitar and bass. Another truely supperb album by Amon Düül 2. Especially Don't Turn Too Stone and Spaniards & Spacemen. If you don't have it already, go buy it. No real info on the album, attacking another reviewer, reporting error within "review" which is not appropriate thing to do... not a review at all! |

 Italian Symphonic Prog(Studio Album, 1973) Review (Permanent link) by L'albero del pane @ 2:01:39 PM EST, 10/28/2005 Really a masterpiece, one of those things that made me proud of be italian. E’STATA UNA VERA E PROPRIA ESIGENZA DI TROVARSI PER SPERIMENTARE IL TEATRO ,QUELLA CHE HA UNITO UN GRUPPO DI PERSONE CHE HANNO DATO VITA ALLA COMPAGNIA TEATRALE “ CLAR DI LUNE “ A BERTIOLO; COMUNE DELLA BASSA FRIULANA. POCHI MA BASILARI GLI INGREDIENTI : UN GRUPPO AFFIATATO , UN AMMINISTRAZIONE COMUNALE ATTENTA E DISPONIBILE, TANTA VOGLIA DI COLLABORAZIONE E, APERTURA A SEMPRE NUOVE ESPERIENZE. SI PARTE CON LA REALIZZAZIONE DI UNA SEMPLICE FARSA FRIULANA,CHE SERVE AL GRUPPO PER FARE CONOSCENZA MA SOPRATTUTTO PER VALUTARE LE PROPRIE POTENZIALITA’. MOLTO ATTIVA E’ STATA LA COLLABORAZIONE CON LE VARIE ASS. CULTURALI DEL LUOGO,SONO NATI COSI DUE EMOZIONANTI SPETTACOLI ( cerclis di lune – San Martino 300 anni di storia ) CHE RIMARRANNO PER SEMPRE NEI CUORE DEGLI ATTORI .SI SCEGLIE DI FARE UN PERCORSO DI CONTINUA SPERIMENTAZIONE; CORSI DI STORIA DEL TEATRO, DI TRUCCO, DI MIMO, DI DIZIONE, SI ALTERNANO A LABORATORI SULLA CORALITA’,SULLA CLOWNERIE,SULL’IMPROVVISAZIONE,SULLA COSTRUZIONE DI UNO SPETTACOLO SERVENDOSI DEI TESTI LETTERARI ETC . MOLTE VOLTE IL GRUPPO SI METTE IN DISCUSSIONE PER LA PRESENTAZIONE DI SPETTACOLI CHE HANNO POCO DI COMMERCIALE,MA CHE RAPPRESENTANO UNA NOVITA’ PER GRUPPI AMATORIALI, COSI’ COME LA SCELTA DI REGISTI ESTERNI CHE CON LE LORO POTENZIALITA’ AUMENTANO LA PREPARAZIONE E L’AUTOSTIMA DEL GRUPPO, CON LABORATORI E CON UNA VISIONE PIU’ APERTA VERSO IL MONDO TEATRALE. I'm italian and proud to see people who adore Le Orme, but this review, after that few english words, doesn't say nothing about the album, nor about the band! Edited by Andrea Cortese |

It is not a disk prog, but a disk of "rhytmic noises"! "Deception Of The Trush" is the summary of the project "ProjeKcts" where the group came split in four. And it tested in absolute manner. And this is the truth progressive. Fortunately it is not weighing and it am listened to pleasantly. But it is not a good disk to discover the "90's Crimson". 
, I had left the rating intact, so I've added the English text.
