the review in itself is fine (his other reviews of real Magma album are good too)
So I suggest we get rid of the album and mail the reviewer we did so!

I hesitate to bring any review to attention here, since, 1) I've not reviewed anything yet; and 2) I don't speak any language other than English well enough to even try; but with that in mind, I can't really see what reviews such as this one from today:
offer to anyone. I will happily apologise if I'm mistaken, but this is gibberish - helps no-one judge the album - and others from this reviewer seem similar, eg (first one I picked at random - other than the blanks!):
I'm willing to work my way through sensible attempts to write English, and even through some of the Babelfish stuff - but, I'm sorry, this is useless.

PINK FLOYD — Wish You Were Here
Review by pinkfan (luisa)
I don t understand like a work like this given two stars as much as I would also like to find the whereabouts of (sp?) Osmo Tapio Räihälä (the person towards which the first paragraph of this review is adressed) and...well...censoring this part ...this is totally unappropriate.Weak,leasure,irrelevant.Please remove. it's a clear case of quick response towards a conflictual precedent review.not tolerating,by me.

Sorry to contradict you, Rico, but I agree with CT on this one. These two reviews (especially the first one) are next to unintelligible. If one can't write in a foreign language properly, he should either avoid it or stick to shorter, simpler things. I write long reviews because I know I can pull it off in English, but I would never dream of doing the same thing in German - my skills are just not high enough for that. And those b****y online translators should be banned - it's neither the time nor the place to go into detail as to the reasons why, but believe me (it's my field of expertise) when I say that they do more harm than good.

That's a hilarious dream!
Richard Wright is my player of pink keyboard of Floyd.
And what did he say about the wet dream? I would like that part to be more detailed.
Joking aside, it really feels like somebody had fun with a translator.

The sad thing is, you don't have fun with online translators - it's the other way around. You feed your text into them, and they play havoc with it for a series of reason - the main one being that they don't know that words may have multiple meanings. And then there's the question of word order, as seen in the above review...

The more I read it the more I appreciate its wonderful poetry....
I've PM'd Ricochet & am happy to let him decide, one way or the other.......and either way, I sincerely mean no disrespect to the author...

ORPHANED LAND — Mabool - The Story of The Three Sons of Seven
Review by fallen_world666 (Al Fadhil) Nothing else i can say that wont be a repeat of what others before me has said. It's a great album. Its a good piece for those of you who love melodic death to transition into prog music. I've had it in my Mp3 player ever since its release(i was the first person to lay hands on it in my country. hurray!) and i still have it in there now. first phrase is a clique.If you don't have what to write,DO NOT write. Last paragraph is totally irrelevant. NEY. |

[QUOTE=TheProgtologist]Not an inappropriate review..but not much of a review at all:
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=82980[/QUOTE] Jody, I believe that some people are writing a few words only to make their reviews worth more than a simple rating-without-review. So, I'll leave the rating in this case.

Presently, all reviewers are also forum members (even having 0 posts). However some old reviewers, aren't still forum members and whenever we delete or edit their reviews we send them mails explaining the action.
