EDIT: Not exact, apparently there was a chart in July 2005 Guigo, I found this post: from 2 months before:
At least in May 2005....we already had a top 100
Just noticed I'm stubborn LMAO.

LOL, don't worry Jesús, I couldn't care less for the charts, I love Hybris more than most of the top 10 no matter in what place it is.
But it's pathetic that a grown man tries to modify a chart in a Prog site where nobody ever cared for the top songs.

Iván [/QUOTE]That doesn't explain the changes in the top # one album these past months. When I forst started reading this site, the top 5 seemed pretty static, now it's a 3 way toss up. I do agree with you , as to who could care that much... |

I know, it's just really short, barely over 50 words. But then again, that does meet the requirement, so it could stay. |

Indeed, and it doesn't change my mind about not wanting to listen to the album

Maybe it was written by an unemployed Rolling Stone journalist ? |

I have to protest against this protest.......Saying "meaningless" is not insulting nor offensive, it's just what the reviewer thinks of a particular section in a song. If everything was "meaningful", then everything would click, thus everything would have to be liked by the person. When one's saying "meaningless" one is really saying "this doesn't mean anything to me, it's misplaced, I can't see the point of it" .
The next-to last paragraph is a little bit offensive, or is it really? Is his opinion that 14 years old could be playing better music than Tool... I would disagree but, then again, what if those 14 year old were all genius? .... He could've picked better ways of saying this, but I don't see the insult.
"Sorry guys but this is not music"... Well, as incredibly wrong as this statement is (even RAP is music, and Tool is music, and at times even good music), is the reviewer's opinion. If he had said "sorry guys, but whoever likes this is an idiot because this is not music", then we would have insults and the need for editing...Maybe the "sorry guys" part makes the whole phrase sound slightly arrogant, what if he'd said "in my opinion, this is not music" ? Nobody would have argued with that.

^^ OK, I understand what you're saying about the use of "meaningless". That makes sense.
I still believe calling parts "dumb" and "drivel" is still rather insulting. That's how I interpret it anyway (can calling something dumb be interpreted differently? ). And I still believe the last statement in the review is absolutely ridiculous. Again, if it isn't music, then what is it? (I knew I should have put this in the review discussions...) |

The Tool review probably does not merit deletion, as immature as the writing is.
However, look at his Systematic Chaos review: DREAM THEATER — Systematic Chaos Review by slaver (dave) Well, I've been reading the reviews and now have to add my 10 cents worth. Before I go any further my rating for this and all other Dream Theater albums is 5 stars excepting for the very first album which I rate at 3 stars. My reason for the high ratings is simple. There are no other instumentalists in the rock world, or probably any other worlds, who can play their intruments like these guys can. I love technical music. Every one of Dream Theater's albums is a classic to me. I read reviews where fans are disgruntled about this or that with each album release and my advice is "just listen to the music guys and appreciate it for what it is". Dream Theater is a springboard for the members to show off ther skills and technical prowess. If you got it flaunt it To hear an album where these guys don't play at their peak potential would disappoint me. So what if it's "showy". With each album I want to know that Petrucci is still the best, that no one can out drum Portnoy, that no one can out base Myung. They are the best so just accept that and listen to the skill and the complexity of the track structures. How anyone can rate Tool 5 stars and this any less is beyond me. They do do a lot of imitations and cover bootleg albums - because they can. They do imitate Metallica here on one track, because they can. It s doubtfull that Metallica could imitate Dream Theater in full flight. Don't compare DT to Dt, compare them to the other artists out there. This review says nothing about the specific album, with the very minor exception of the Metallica comment, and IMHO should be deleted. |

nothing wrong except the opening statement : "This is Kamelot's 4th album and 1st album with former Conception singer Roy Khan." the first album with Roy Khan as vocal actually is 'Siege Perilous', the previous album |

Can you have all of your reviews deleted?
I am unhappy with all of my reviews. Most of them are based on what i've heard of the album (mostly just 1-3 songs).
Please answer
Thanks!

It's probably some stimulant, as he can really express his emotions but about the music itself? Not a word! .....
