In general, the replies are fair and the further development is agreeable - some are now fine PA reviewers (although I won't mention names here).
 
The communication text is more or less "standard" but we always make some changes when it's the first review of a member or when we realize that the reviewer's native language isn't English, etc.
 
However, any idea for improvement is welcome! Smile 
 
Well this sounds very good! Didn't know these details about the procedure. I trust on your professional work here. Smile
 
Thanks for trusting us! Cool
 
BTW, all these procedures were Bob's work and I received them totally ready when I started to work as a review moderator. Clap

I found at least a couple this morning... Let's start with this one:

PINHAS, RICHARD — Chronolyse
Review by chonibarra

5 stars richard is always a reliable musician is like my nehighbor and at the same time fun to hear since his times and tunes changes, makes me feel fresh and amicable from heldon to his discs. he keeps a delightful way of music.jose.


It doesn't really say much about the album, does it? And then there's another from our friend Mandy, which I found a bit hard to understand at times (even coming from the same mother language as he):

CAMEL — Rain Dances
Review by MANDRAKEROOT (Andrea Salvador)

2 stars DANCES... WITH RICHARD SINCLAIR

I do not believe that the arrival of Richard Sinclair have carried positive ideas for the Camel... In fact this disc is not of it meat of it fish... It is not Symphonic and in certain points taming me if is a Prog disc...

Nevertheless it it contains "Higways Of The Sun" (in the edition in my possession is included also it "Single Version", not good cones the "Album Version") worthy musical sensibility of authentic masterpiece of the "Snow Goose" or "Moonmadness". Besides there it is "Elke" that to remembers me too the early Tangerine Dream... Finally there it is "Rain Dances" excellent song for Synth. For the remainder the emty one...

Last 10 years seem from "Moonmadness" and instead... The gears are itself routes...!

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

I saw them all, GR... but my computer is being upgraded and I'm using another one where I don't find secure to manage the database. Let's hope that Bob or Jody make a visit here and may deal with these reviews (and others) or wait until Monday.Embarrassed

     Jazz Rock/Fusion
(Studio Album, 1977)
Avg: 4.50/5
from 3 ratings IZVIR — Izvir
Review by vintageb3
Thank You for great review. But I'm not really shure about the "third album of Predmestje", as they have not issued any. The "Hazard" was the pop gruop in 70ies. They should issue more then 3 LPs.

Regards, Andrej Konjajev keyboards of Izvir

Scene Six posted two Dream Theater score reviews, with the same text.


EDIT: or at least that's what the front page shows. Confused on the album page, there is only one review.

SECOND EDIT: wait, I understand now, he reviewed both the CD and the DVD. yet it's still inappropriate, the DVD text is almost the same with the CD text.

Holy God Mad, this is weird even for Mandrakeroot, seems like he is using a cheaper online translator.
 
You that are Italian please tell him in your mother tongue to stop calling the bands THE Yes, THE Camel, THE Genesis, each time I see this combo of words I want to kill myself   Dead  or better  kill somebody. Off with his head

Ivan, if he pays me enough money, I might even offer him some English lessons....Wink BTW, online translators - cheap or otherwise - are to be avoided at all costs, for a series of reasons I won't go into now. Personally, I think one should avoid writing in a language they are not good enough at... but that's just my usual, conceited-prat self!LOL

PENDRAGON — Not Of This World
Review by lgoffine (Luc Goffinet)

5 stars This one of the best prog record I've ever heard. Even if it is not new stuff to most people's ears, this is top- notch inspired music, and especially melodic (which is sometimes rare in the prog world). This record is better than all the others that they have made...



51 words, but SleepyAt most questionable.

1 stars MANIC DEPRESSION!

I did not understood the reason of this Tribute Album. Actual no there I succeed! Useless, cold, calculator... An album for does spend money and other nothing!

Nevertheless resonable they are the version of "I Can See For Miles", "I Don't Need No Doctor", "A Salty Dog", "Manic Depression" and "Wishing Well" that do not suffice to make off an album however useless. And here I close.

I do not words.

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

Hey Bern good old Mandrakeroot has a lot of classics, but I wouldn't change the moments of fun provided by him for anything.

RICK WAKEMAN

The Six Wives of Henry VIII

1973

Studio Album

Review by MANDRAKEROOT (Andrea Salvador)
Posted 4:45:49 AM EST, 5/16/2006

5 stars EPIC

I read (not memory where) yhat the lack of Rick Wakeman is that of to seek always inspiration to do history either from books of adventure or science fiction so than its music you become epic, he can vent in ridden solo without head and tail. But the same things come said from the same persons for Vangelis. And for Vangelis is a large Merit... For me it is also for Rick Wakeman... Or rather, the it is for a lot of Progsters (or Progheads).

As for this "The Six Wives..." is a large disc. It it contains excellent songs with large parts of Keyboards. The music is a Rock version of Vangelis, thing that is obvious in songs like "Catherine Of Aragon", "Annes Of Cleves", "Catherine Howard, "Jane Symour" and "Catherine Parr" to same level. "Anna Boleyn 'The Day Thou Gavest Lord Hath Ended'" is not very succeeded because to unite pieces of other songs to the actual music is not simple and here the what did not quite succeed. It hits like the typical characters of six wives of Henry VIII so quite demonstrator are represented like Rick succeeded to read the inside of the events, thing that the books does not come done.

If Wagner was still living has been proud of Rick Wakeman.

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.
 
Nuff said. LOL

That's ridiculous!  I notice his name too, is that supposed to be irony? LOL

And how can he review an album if he fell asleep!  This is the silliest review I've seen in ages.

It has to go!

Identical reviews by the same author.

ZELLO — Quodlibet
Review by pirkka (Pirkka Ruishalme)

4 stars Nu ska vi sjunga lite polka!

This is extreamely interesting music. Original Swedish folk prog with melodies taken from scandinavian folk music like polka and played with keyboards and violin and a rhythm section. Among the keybs is Hammond and the great Tron. The tracks vary in length from 57 seconds to 25+ minutes. The music is imaginative and courage. It don't settle for simple folk tunes. It grows into symphionic measures and sounds like bands like Dream Theater do at their best, when not playing too metallic parts. So very strong and melodic music. The singing takes a liittle time to be accepted atleast in the first track Will Be The Wind. The melody is not easy or predictable. The singer is actually quite good.

I personally like the combination of modern symphonic prog and scandinavian folk melodies. Absolutely an excellent addition to whom so ever prog fans collection. Four stars.

I'm still using a non-trustable PC, James & Rico.
For the pirkka reviews maybe he made a confusion, it happened with other people before - gonna talk with him.

Well, I don't know what you imply by non-trustable, Guigo, we just make the attention and when you have time (or the PC becomes "trustable") can handle. No rush. Smile

Talk to pirrka = okay

DREAM THEATER — Score: 20th Anniversary World Tour Live with the Octavarium Orchestra
Review by proglil49 (Julien Lavoie)

5 stars This is gonna be for sure a classic live album of prog music. The setlist is so great it's unbelivable. The perfomance of the band on this album is so wonderful, even Labrie dosen't miss a note! This album will stay one of my favorites for sure.



proud to say Approve that this has less that 50 words.
