Inappropriate reviews

Sorry that I bothered you Easy,I just never saw anything like that before in a review.

I am not sure if this is "inappropriate review", but this guy is doing some mathematic calculations, not reviewing.

PINK FLOYD
Ummagumma

5 stars — Just before the end of the Sixties, Pink Floyd did the unthinkable, and released a double album of four classic tracks done live in front of small audiences, and another side of freaky, experimental works that, at best, allowed each individual member a chance to display their own unique musical vision. This is Pink Floyd in their relative infancy - exploring uncharted territories of space and time and creating their own genre of art/space rock.

Studio Album

1. Sysyphus, Pt. 1, Pt.2, Pt.3, Pt.4 - . Richard Wright begins this odyssey, with Sysyphus, a hauntigly beautiful piece, full of his keyboard work. A wonderful intro. 4/5

5. Grantchester Meadows - One of the Floyd's best early songs with some of Waters' best lyrics. A great slow song. 5/5

6 .Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict - by far the most bizarre song ever dreamed up by Pink Floyd. If you listen closely, towards the end, one of the voices that make up this song seems to be saying "I need a hit" of acid ? 4.5/5

7 . The Narrow Way: Pt. 1 ,Pt. 2 , Pt. 3 - David Gilmour's guitar driven "The Narrow Way" is by far the most impressive, showcasing his great guitar skills. Beutiful Melody!! 5/5

10 - Grand Vizier's Garden Party: Enterance, Pt. 1- Entertainment, Pt. 2 - Exit, Pt. 3 - is a complex sound collage, which builds layers of percussion and stretches recording technology to the brink. It makes an interesting listen and the drum solo at the end of part two is superb. Nick closes the piece and the album with unassuming flutes. 4/5

Note : 4+5+4.5+5+4= 22.5

22.5 : 5 = 4.5

Live Album

1. Astronomy Domine 4.5/5

2. Careful With That Axe, Eugene (Instrumental) 4.5/5

3. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun 4.5/5

4. Saucerful of Secrets 5/5

The live album is fantastic. Just four songs, but they're all classic early Floyd. Some tracks, sounds even better live than in it's original studio version.

Note: 4.5+4.5+4.5+5 = 18,5

18,5 : 4 = 4,6

Final Note : Ummagumma is like a Quantum Physics book ,it is almost impossible to cross ,It is obscure and unique in the way it sounds .But when you understand it ,you penetrate in a real new environment . I highly recommend this album.

4.5 + 4,6 = 9,1

9,1 : 2 = 4,5

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive music

I think his reviews are fine Seyo, but I agree the mathematics are distracting and superfluous. Here's a recent thread on the subject.

Not offensive, or anything, not even a review:

MR - I agree!

The fact is that Gatot Widyanto, and Hugues Chantraine are highly respected reviewers on this site. If you don't enjoy their reviews that is up to you. I do not agree with your comments about their command of English. Even if I did, this is an international site and we wish to be as inclusive as we can practically be. I have deleted your review above as it clearly breaches the guidelines. You have not reviewed that album at all, and your attack on a fellow member is unacceptable. You are quite at liberty to discuss whether or not any band should be listed on the site, but the forum is the place for that discussion, not the reviews section.

Sorry to come into this a bit late, but I'd just like to stick up for Gatot and Hugues as well - two of the best reviewers around. Also, please can we keep braindamage's reviews - they're one of the main reasons I joined this forum, although I must admit they're starting to make a bit of sense now so they're not so funny.

I still find it pretty funny that he always starts with WHAT ALBUM IS THIS???...really crazy

OK, Easy, no problem, just wondering...

 —  This is really bad version of yes and it is very cheesy. Good musicians but that does not make you good music as Dream Theater have proved. If you was to listen to somerthing on these lines listen to Close To The Edge by Yes. This is Poor!
