Wait was that my 10,000 Days review? I didn't know we couldn't review a pre-release. And will it be reposted automatically when the album comes out or will I have to post it again? Edited by int_2375 |

You'll have to resubmit it. Have you saved a copy, int_2375? In case you haven't saved I can send it back to you.

You are right, Easy Livin... I should've thought about the 'how' question before I posted it. And indeed, you already cleared his name. I guess I was a mite angry when I read those bogus reviews. At least get those IP addresses banned, indeed! |

TOOL "10,000 Days"
by rulfo1234 — First review of this album —Hi: Incredible piece of music!!!! All the time we had to wait was worthy every second for this incredible rock masterpiece. At first the new Tool sound is more dark and more heavy but equally emotional as Lateralus or Aenima. This new album has two incredible epics (both over 11 mins). Once again every Tool member excels at playing. Danney Carey incredible drumming, Justin the best bass of any Tool album, and Adam Jones more amazing mind - blowing guitar riffs. And Mr. Maynard James Keenan providing amazing philosofical lyrics. If you question yourself how did i get to listen to the album go to www.fullalbums.com there enter Tool and download 10,000 days. Sorry about this but I couldn't wait any more for the cd to go to stores so just download it. Incredible album By Tool. Another one Can't you just block it from reviewing? |

Why don't somebody block reviews and ratings from a non released album?
Is this possible?

^^^^^
How about deleting the album until it is actually released or stop adding it to the database until it hits the market? It seems the only way to stop this?

blocking reviews is the best solution. Just add a column to the album database which contains the release date and then don't show the review form before that timestamp ... a really simple feature.

TANGERINE DREAM "Poland - The Warsaw Concert*"
by vap-tm
This is album has enchanted me almost through the whole history of my “relation” with
Tangerine Dream and I am very strong that it will continue to enchant me for the rest
of my life.It is one of those albums that leave you speechless and breathless.It is
of a monumentality rare to be described,a monumentality that serves very well to the
Tangerine Dream renowed class and to 11 magnificent masterliness years of electronic
music from them.It is not one of those surprising,”shockers”,albums-given the fact
that until now we are already used to glorious live albums (Ricochet-Encore-Logos et
caetera),plus on the line of masterfullness it stands quite equal to every other
album of the Golden Era.But here corelations really fade or turn into dust.As an
album of its own,seen through the individual perception mode,this is magnificent
scaled.One of Tangerine Dream’s superb album,one that makes me not more and not less
that extremely content and extremely proud.From the perspective of corelation
however,we do have some “not so good news” coming:Poland is the last album of the
Tangerine Dream Golden Era.After the year 1984,heavy clouds of disorientation,of
dismembership,of disillusion,clouds of bad seed,clouds of complete change,start to
gather,to form,to spread virus.Yes,we say goodbye to masterliness Tangerine Dream
albums with a perfect album,I can say.Yet let’s not necessarily judge the album as a
closer to great things.Let’s judge in the posivite light of grandness,of pleasure
listening,of soundscape and of spirit.
It stands as very-well outlined and elevated music.Tangerine Dream do here what they have projected,then acomplished so well,in the previous live albums:more than a show,more than just electronic music…movement music,musique grande,musique de lumiere…Within these four pieces,they put every resources and every manifest of magic they have,plus the eternal element of soul and passion,and create wonders.Truly wonders.This is music of quality I am afraid even to describe.”Platinum” writen all over it.An amount of aspects done perfectly and a special sort of details done even better than perfect.”Better than perfect”!.How great that feeling must be!Strong structure and cultivated,rafined and clear composition.The pieces are work of art in the full meaning of the word.Emotions also cross boundaries unknows.This is fresh breeze concerning a relation with Hyperborea;not really connected.Poland is a full album,a creation of its own.Of course,the style is undoubtebly well-fixed into the Schmoelling era,with light maneuvers of expression,with themes evolving to extremes separately,with the air of surroundness,with the sonority of the entire 1980-1984 period.And elements can easily be found in many other albums like these.But the “new” factor is well alive and,my God,so marking.Manner of approach and tehniques are very different from one piece to another.The title track is one open,tehnic even,more into the light of electronics,into the light of rhythms.”Tangent” follows the path of “Poland”,yet towards a more soundscaping feature,inclined more to estetic and luminous,towards a different sort of effect.Made in touch with themed corelations.”Barbakane” is a monography of spirit and desire.A striking message of how the pulse moves onward and only onward.Even a monography of a side of life,seen through the prisma of 20 minutes.While “Horizon” is a mass work of dark,ambiguous and diffuze matter.You can even consider “Horizon” the dedication towards what it was.Towards years of experiments and years of effect-seeking;with the drop of contemporarity,of course.The ending on “Horizon” is absolutely delicious;frenetic and electric.The emotions can very also.Through “Poland”,Tangerine Dreams show their enormous talent to move the spirit,to lift it up.Up into the high planes of divine pleasure. I strongly recommend this album.It is one that for the fans of Tangerine Dream will be absolutely fantastic.As for those who just like the meddlings of Tangerine Dream,it will be of no sort dissapointing.Poland – a passionate expression of lifeless music. ----------- It's mine!I've mistyped my e-mail adress. "vap-tm" instead of the correct vap_tm... can something be done to change into the correct form? Edited by Ricochet - April 22 2006 at 02:03 |

Done Rico. Had to get through about 70 reviews by Gatot submitted in the last 24 hours to get to it. Do you ever work or sleep Gatot?!

...to talk about the edition only?
Not really, he barely mentions the music, and the star rating is at odds with the text. By rating the edition rather than the album he is inadvertently corrupting the ratings. I'll deal with it.

I've noticed that there are questionable reviews almost everywhere, especially in cases where an album has been reviewed countless time and reviewers claim that "everything has been said so I will not add anything".
Just a few examples from the Top 100:
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11610 - details? That won't persuade anyone.
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11596 - hey, and what about the music?
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11631 - is that it?
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11626 - description?
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11650 - "Nothing to say about it" - we see.
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11651 - he doesn't like it. Cool, but try to go in detail a bit deeper.
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11638 - a lot of emotion, but no information.
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=11706 - he doesn't like the lyrics, but 1 star?
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=35873 - is that it?
And these are just reviews I took from the first half of the SFAM page. Needless to say, they are below any standards for reviewing. I've seen MUCH better, more intelligently written reviews reported in this thread, so I don't see why these reviews deserve to remain in the site - they just pollute. It is just an example of horrible reviewing of the past, I'll probably choose another popular album and list some of the dull descriptions of the music.

You should see the ones which were removed Ivan. I think the point with these ones is that the reviewers have at least made some attempt to justify the rating they have given. Yes they are not great reviews, but they are in the main adequate.
(By the way, is your signtaure having a dig at a fellow member?) Edited by Easy Livin - April 24 2006 at 17:03 |

I seem to have made a conclusion that all of the reviews posted here are deleted. Needless to say, I was surprised that each popular album's page is full of poorly written reviews that do not describe the music at all.
Actually how many reviews are deleted from the ones reported here?
I'm not sure what "having a dig" means, but I could understand it from the context that my sig was not appropriate - I have removed it. It seemed like a good idea to quote a funny line at the time, but I agree that the idea was obscene and immature now.
