Gone Ivan.

Review by billbuckner

i completely disagre with "the miracle" on this review!!!!!!

"HAPPY SUMMER FROM WILLIAM HUNG" is brillian t work of TRUE PROGRESSIVE MUSIC!!!

unlike many other bands, hung is NOT AFRAID TO PUSH THE BOUNDRIES OF PROGRESSIVE MUSIC

but narrow-minded people like THE MIRACLE don't seem to understand.

it's just not fair! :'(

maybe if he isn't smart enough to GET this music, he should not hav reviewed it!

5/5 ONLY BUY IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN MIND!!!

4 - Write in an intelligent and considerate manner. Rude or insulting language (including blatant vulgarity) will not be tolerated! Show respect for other reviewers, readers, the artists, and the CD and song titles. Do not belittle reviews posted by others, their opinions are as welcome and valid as yours. It is generally best to avoid commenting on other reviews altogether

I'm offended!

Another april fool case?

Porcupine's new album didn't come out yet ... and it already has four 5-star ratings and even this review.

It's a remarkable performance to break that many reviewing guidelines in such a short text... while being a major Collaborator:

YES — Close to the Edge
Review by Wutu Banale (Henri Salmela)
Oh Yes, I like Yes. Oh Yes, Yes is one of the most infludential prog bands of the history of Rock 'n' Roll (Dumb word play). Oh Yes, Close to the Edge is one of the most breath-taking Prog albums ever, but I dare to say it's not their best. No, it's not Relayer or Fragile. it's Yes Album. But neverthless I decided that my first Yes review should be of this album. Maybe I just want to lift back to #1, who knows?

The title track begins with the sounds of singing birds and waterfall and quickly bursts with a classic Guitar/bass arsenal. Squire and Howe do magnificent job, but naturally we can't forget the rest of the band. Bruford gives his best performance of any Yes album, but I think that his best work is from the albums he made with King Crimson. And naturally Wakeman who gives very nice performances on keyboards. Nice Harpsichord playing especially. Last but not the least, Jon Anderson and his magnificent voice (Singing those obscure writings) will move you to a state of strange feelings. Weakest link on the album is the semi-acoustic And You and I. It is not bad by any means, but the weakest. Took me a bit to get into it. Slideguitar! Siberian Khatru is the hmm... less proggiest song, but I adore it. The Whole songs is a one big, fu**ing diamond (Sorry, but profanity just adds up the effect on the perfectinuum (That's not a word is it?) of the song in general). I love the part around 7 minutes.

Last minute Edit: I was just listening to the album while writing this (Siberian Khatru Harpsichord solo now) and I came to the conclusion that this IS the Best Yes Album ever. Funny isn't it?

I'm not suggesting the review be deleted. I think he should take out the line about Yes' position on the charts, for two reasons:

1) it sounds like it influenced his rating
2) it dates the review... that line makes no sense if the top 100 ever disappears.
