Ok, I'll PM the culprit to see if he can make alterations. TongueWink
 
 
But the derogatory remarks are aimed at Seb Bach (who was a hired hand), even if the project leaders are not spared.

The first rating of Snakes and Arrows is up and wait a minute, isn't it supposed to be released in  May? But this is April not May! And the fact that there is no punctuation and isn't exactly written in proper English bugs me (last time I checked "r" was a letter not a word and he spelled rhythm wrong).

THRESHOLD — Dead Reckoning
Review by Threshold (Milica Nikolic)

5%20stars First I'd like to point out that Threshold album can minimum get 5 stars for no matter the release their music presents the highest degree of composing responsibility and on contrary to most of the bands it never just tells one story but directs to essential values in our lives and plays a role of a medium which helps us ascend to the utmost spiritual dimension. [...]



oooh-kay.

Almost all the text of the review above is copied from the biography of the band on their official website and it just explains the "concept" of another album, "Terramare"... http://www.arpia.info/ARPIA/BIOGRAPHY.html

I'm glad he likes the album, but I just had a small problem here.  Could this part be taken out or edited in some way:

The music is quite heavy, but not in a stupid way like Dream Theater, where all is about making as much noise as possible.

I just thought it wasn't necessary to add in a bashing comment about another band.  I know it's just a little thing, but it still bothers me a bit.

OK...
 
For the PT review: doing a comparison with another band is OK prevented you're not bashing one of them or both. Review edited.
 
For the IM ratings: theoretically the "reviewer" isn't breaking any rules but the pattern is really vicious. Going to check what to do in this case.

This isn't supposed to be possible but some of Bern's  reveiws are repeated.
4%20stars ARTI E MESTIERI - Murales

4%20stars HARMONIUM - Harmonium

5%20stars KING CRIMSON - Red
5%20stars KING CRIMSON - Red
4%20stars KING CRIMSON - The Power To Believe

Most of the repeats seem to be ratings without reviews but one or two have writing on them. Must be some type of glitch

Oh and be careful when deleting - some are real reviews others are just the rating without review

I was checking Area discography and noticed that there are three poor reviews that don't say anything about the album, music, etc.

RUSH — Snakes & Arrows
Review by Optimisim

5%20stars Unless any of you "reviewers" are professional print and/or web journalists that were privy to Anthem/SRO's OFFICIAL press junket on this album, how in the HELL are you reviewing something that hasn't even been released yet? Shame on you. Yeah, you...and you...and YOU! You've had dessert, now finish the entre.

Also, how are we supposed to take anything you have "reviewed" seriously, if you cannot even grasp basic 8th grade grammar? My God, you should REALLY proofread yourselves!

(Sorry, that was the high school teacher in me popping out).

I have been perusing reviews all over the place, looking for some optimisim until May 1st rolls around, and I can honestly say that I REALLY question some of you so- called "huge/hardcore/ultra" Rush fans. I don't think you TRULY understand what it is you are a fan of, because it doesn't seem like you "get" what Rush is all about.

Moving Pictures has been made. Kings has been made. Hemispheres has been made. Let it go. Please?

What, in your definition, do you all consider "progressive?" Lydian 64th-note sweeping arpeggiated guitar solos, ala Shreddy Kruger? Incessant, unecessary, 32nd-note double bass runs?

I am of the belief that Rush have created something new and progressive, based on the good (and questionable "fan") reviews.

By all means, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I stand by my consternation of some "true" Rush fans.

With "fans" like that, who needs "critics?"

Really elitist IMO... then only if you know music you are able to appreciate prog-rock. Confused I guess that 95% of the prog-fans are out. This kind of behavior helps few the spreading of the genre.

There is an advertisement for a concert by a totally different band not in the archives in that review. Is that appropriate?

Not the most appropriate place to do an advertisement but it has become a Gatot's tradition in several of his close to 1,000 reviews already submitted. Smile
 
Anyway, it's also a case of spreading the gospel of the good music (prog included) which is valid IMHO! Wink

PINK FLOYD — Wish You Were Here
Review by tarkusxx

5%20stars What can i say about this masterpiece? The best album of prog rock ever! Pink Floyd it's the best band of prog, that has influenced the others. The musicians are too much experienced, and the sounds is a reflex of their talent!

Just essencial!
