Wishborne Ash - Just Testing
review by lajos http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=89423 1. 49 words. 2. tad inclined towards a focus on relations (the last good album; the awful next to come etc.) 3. of course, un-substantial at all. |

I agree with the declaration of love here, but I don't think it's really a review.

This reviewer admits he's only heard the single Supermassive Blackhole and is judging the rest of the album (which I find very different to that song) on it:

Art Rock (Studio Album, 1998) Avg: 4.10/5 from 5 ratings BIGELF — Closer to Doom (10 track version) Review by sinkadotentree (john davie) This is a good record,but there something about vocals that sound like the BEATLES,fronting a band that sounds like a BLACK SABBATH,DEEP PURPLE hybrid that just doesn't work for me.Some tracks like "crazy","closer to doom"and "theme one"do sound great though.On the first song "change",the vocalist sounds just like LENNY KRAVITZ,i swear if i didn't know it was BIGELF i would say i was listening to a LENNY KRAVITZ record! .On the plus side,i love the hammond organ,mellotron,and guitar riffs.I can see why this band would be a favourite of a lot of people,they have a hard edged sound with good vocals.Just doesn't do it for me.

nice story, but it tells nothing about the album, or even if he likes it or not.

Says absolutely nothing about the album, only states a general dislike from the reviewer's perspective towards the band itself

Mandy's at it again:
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=89838 Usual problem... it is next to incomprehensible at times, though the points he wants to make are more than valid (he does know his stuff, this is for sure). Even coming from the same linguistic background as he does, I find it very hard to understand, so you can imagine what other people can make of it. |

agree on the review being not a review, but is the rating valid?
edit: sorry for the lay-out of the post, don't know how to fix it.

never completely heard the album but its three stars....
GENESIS — Selling England By The Pound Review by tarkuswright (Jim Carlton) Well, a strange album… There’s not doubt it’s good, but I sincerely expected another masterpiece from Genesis, and THIS IS NOT. I feel a lack of something inexplicable, a lack of pure prog. This is the first Genesis’s work in which we can hear an approaching to a catchier pop. They left the alternative tune we liked so much, to do something different and I thought it's not so beautiful. And so I don’t like The Battle of Epping Forest and More Fool Me, they sound like another group’s songs, after the excellent Foxtrot; the only song that worth to be called Genesis’s are Dancing With The Moonlight Knight, Firth of Fifth and maybe I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe, a simple pop song. It’s good the intro of Cinema Show, but the verses and choruses are not as good as catchy… THIS ALBUM IS THE GENESIS’S ONE I BOUGHT AND I NEVER HEARD COMPLETELY!!! I don’t feel to recommend it, but I know a lot of people like it…… |

Maybe, the reviewer means that he never heard the album completely at one sitting? Still, he mentions six out of eight songs from the album, which is pretty much almost the entire album. And I don't think there are any problems with argumentation.

I've heard of people listening to something called "Muse" a long time ago, along with bands
such as HOOBASTANK and NIGHTWISH...I knew nothing of music outside some progrock
(Pink Floyd and IQ, mostly) and, gasp, Michael Jackson.
So I saw Genesis in 1973 and was blown away. My good buddy had tickets for them at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., and I had never heard any of their music. On the first song when Gabriel come onstage in his costume for "Watcher of the Skies", I knew this was a kick-ass band. So when GTR came around some many years later, and also many years after Hackett left Genesis, I was eager. I lost that CD when my home burned down and the only CD available when I went to replace it was the King Biscuit Flour Hour, which sucks compared to the studio album (plus "The Hunter" isn't on that Flour Hour CD). Anyway, I'll will always admire Steve Hackett for his contributions to Genesis, for it was his fantastic guitar work that was the basis of my love of their music. 
I'm new to the review game, so bear with me as I try this on for size. I've been listening to progressive music for 20+ years & this cd is as good as prog metal gets. I'm listening to it as I write this & I keep turning it up!! The songs blend into one another effortlessly. Although most songs are over 7 minutes long, I never wanted to skip any of them. PLAY IT LOUD!! ISIS should continue to make cds like this! Highly recommended!! 
I've never been quite a big fan of Pink Floyd and still I find Gilmour's vocals irritating. A lot of delight from prog fans made me give this album more chances than it really deserves. A complete waste of time.
