Inappropriate reviews

BTW...thought I'd list these two.  The first one is inappropriate, but the second one is...you'll see why.

PROG REVIEWER

 —  I usually agree with Hugues' reviews and this is no exception! It must be said finally loud and clear that many of our beloved prog bands occasionally produced crap albums and totaly uninspired works. YES is no exception and as one of previous reviews noted well, this album is perhaps a good example why some music lovers hate progressive rock. Double LP of boring, quasi-philosophical "space" trips with lots of pompose and over- grandiose music solos, lacking basic emotions needed to intrigue the listener. I already stated in "CTTE" review that if it was a peak of their career it also announced a downfall to the arena of showmanship of "rock dinosurus", which created some of the most empty and self-indulgent music in the world and invoked the coming of the "punk saviours"! Granted, YES produced even worse albums than "Topographic" (see "Tormato"), but here it all started. I could personnaly listen only to some parts of "Ritual" without the urge to approach the turntable , lift up the cartridge, take the record, place it back into the sleeve, put it on the shelf and forget about it forever. If you are a newbie into prog, avoid this. Listen to the first five albums and if you get yourself addicted to YES then you may wish to complete your collection with this one. 1,5-2 stars.

SBF,

Just because someone actually agrees with me does not mean that he is wrong!!!

However the second review, looking by the date is simply copy/paste and should be deleted!! But the first one is valid opinion!

Sean....I didn't say that he is/was wrong.  The reason I posted it is simply because it is/was complete plagarism.  I know the first one is a valid opinion; which is why you'll notice my disclaimer at the top of the post. 

OH sh*t!  I get what you meant now....I meant to say that the SECOND one is inappropriate.  Sorry....

Never in my life has i seen such a maronic reviewer as TAMTAM as you said he only seemed to give 4-5 ratings to albums of VDGG.CB, peter hamill URIAH HEEP AND KING CRIMSON

and while managing to give most other prog classics one star reviews he managed to give radioheads ok computer 5 stars!

Haha i doubt he has even heard the albums he has reviewed i mean he has given most yes and dream theater records 1 and 2 stars and i dont belivie that he would continue to buy records of and artist that he thinks makes only 1 and 2 star albums

So id say TAMTAM is an excelent example of an totally unserious reviewer that gives out 5 stars to anything made of his favourtie bands while the rest is crap  (Althogh he has not cared to listen to it even
