No I haven't and/but I am sure it is still there

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

Hugues,

Rest assured, none have been lost, they will still be on the database. The issue is probably that they are not being shown on the album page. Have you checked your list of reviews on your collaborator page to see if it's still there?

Very good!

I have a question of this — First review of this album — considering the list of unreviewed albums: it naturally SHOULD come when there is no written reviews but some ratings, right? (and such albums should be on that list too)?
For example FAMILY's Anyway wasn't on the list; it has ratings without reviews only. (Then again, ANTHONY PHILLIPS' Harvest of The Heart was on the list, with one RTR.) Both are albums I might review in the near future.

Correct Matti, I think M@X is still sorting a few things out there.

Eetu, I think the actual album is listed twice, once under each artist. As far as the database is concerned, they are therefore two different albums.

Erik -

Well obviously this Family album review of mine is one of those that has been lost in the 71 missing ones, then in the recent modifications

Other thinking about the subject: Those wishing for a band to be introduced , should also maybe review the albums >> what I' ve done for most of the groups I entered in the database

This is valid for people like me or Dick or those adament on a band's inclusion, but maybe not for the BAT team, which is trying to get rid of the backlog

Avestin: How do you think one gets good in reviewing others than writing reviews>>> practice makes perfect (or at least pretty good in my case)

You should be more confident. I also spent more than a year on this site, not rating or reviewing anything, but when I saw I could post one review after another, I made a decision to keep the work.

It is good that I found this thread, because I have an issue.

Go to my reviews page: http://www.progarchives.com/?reviewer=ivansfr0st - notice the Tumulus review, it's one of the latest ones I've done. It is marked as the first review of the album, however, if you click the link that directs to the actual album, you'll see that the review doesn't exist. I'm sure I've written it though, and my review history more than just proves it.

M@x is still sorting out a few bugs Ivan, hopefully things will be OK soon.

I think there's a problem because the review names shown are now the forum names and not the names that were originally given with the reviews. My reviews didn't show up until I added my email address into my forum details so that there was a correspondence between my old reviews and my forum name.

The list is great!

I also noticed a small error:

ENO, BRIAN — The Equatorial Stars (with Robert Fripp)*(2005)

"Soundsweird" has actually reviewed this, it's visible on the Fripp's page:

http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=8141

but not on Eno's page:

I'll try to focus my review writing on albums by the likes of Von Deyen, The Residents, Snakefinger, and some of the more obscure artists. Great to have a list like this

Is there any other reason to say that you have done a wonderful job, Bob ?

Anyway, the 'red alert' "This is the first review of this album" above the reviews on the homepage is perfect progrock motivation psychology !

Alas I can claim no credit Erik Embarrassed

It is a database query which M@X has written, so it will constantly update as reviews are added.

Maybe I'll try to write a review for Hockey ... if I manage to listen through the whole thing in one setting without going crazy.

This page http://www.progarchives.com/UnreviewedAlbums.asp contains a full list of all such albums.

Those who review these albums first will of course ensure that their reviews always appear at or near the top of the reviews for that album. It is also hoped that the first review of an album will soon be highlighted as such.

Instead of being the 300th+ person to review "Close to the edge", why not see which of the albums on the list you can help out with?!

Good God! This list is ... really long. I sort of feel sorry for John Zorn, so much work and ... where are the fans?

Mr Zorn's music isn't exactly easy to listen, ye know... that man is absolutely insane... Its really hard to Be a real fan of that guy.. although I might try to write a review of Naked City...

Yes I have followed your reviews and enjoyed reading them. I don't write because of perfectionality issues mostly. Anyway, regarding your missing reviews, it is apparently happened quite a lot lately and there is a thread about it in the Bugs and Errors section.

Thanks for your comments. See you in Ratingfreak.com
