This review does not meet the ProgArchive guidelines, which clearly state that a review should be 50 words or more. This clocks in at a mere 40... Who are you calling pedantic?

Me too, Arbiter. I'm the biggest 'egghead' of the all. Rush are my top group and that review is not a review at all. It should not have been posted. Not because I disagree with it Now I'm under the impression, correct me if I'm wrong, that you have to have some kind of credibility around here to write reviews for Progarchives????? Well he certainly didn't. I'd like to have a go myself. At least I wouldn't sl*g the artists off, or worse still those who appreciate the artist |

Andrea's reviews should have a special page of their own!

How about a thread of some of the more unique contributions to the reviews? While I don't necessarily want to single people out for ridicule, I think some really fascinatingly mystifying points of view have been submitted. Humor (intentional or unintentional), bizarre observations, or just plain missing the point entirely would be good criteria. Even some of the more warped web-translations would work (I, for one, have come to look forward to andrea salvador's submissions). Here's some recent examples to get us started: YES - Fragile  — Great album. Excellent. But it's just not Pink Floyd. It would be a five-star in my opinion if I could find out the concept of it or the theme here. I assume it has one? Maybe I'm just nieve, but I can't figure out the lyrical meaning behind the excellent music. If someone could point me to the purpose of the album, please do. YES - Fragile
Review by andrea salvador @ 8:32:32 AM EST, 8/11/2004  — To say it is a perfect album is to say null! The masterpiece of true Yes! One of the album more influential than all the rock! Perfect in all, from the first one to last second of music, with the musicians who exceed themselves and sound and one recording truly perfect! That other to say... If you did not know that it exists, I would not believe to us... This is music... This are Yes! |

but because it doesn't actually say anything. He doesn't say what is so awful about the product he is reviewing, or the artist generally.
