Yup, you should have an e-mail explaining CKM.
 
The point is, there is a need to review the album, otherwise it's just a rating without review, and the text is superfluous. Saying "me to" to other people's reviews is a tad lazy perhaps?Wink
 
No big deal though, your reviews are normally good.Clap

RAGNAROK (NZ) — Ragnarok
Review by onzmusic (Andre Jayet)

 Info for those fans wishing to obtain an 'officail' Live Ragnarok CD. Simply called 'Ragnarok Live', this album covers 1976 to 1978 / unfortunately without Lee Maalfrid. This is not the 'bootleg' CD available on the 'net' but a digitally rematered version taken from a 4- track 'reel to reel' deck (remember those). Songs include: Five New Years, Have A Cigar/Wish You Were Here, Butterfly Sky, Thank You, Waterfall, Raga, Do You Feel Like I Do, Nooks and Kashmir. The release for this CD will be at 'Al's Bar' in Christchurch, NZ on Fri 13 July and Sat 14 July 2007. This is part of a "Magic Bus' reunion (25 yrs), which Mark and myself (Andre), will be performing with the band as a double drum unit and will be also performing some of the songs Ragnarok played eg, Butterfly Sky, Have A Cigar/Wish You Were Here, Radar Love (Double Drum Solo), and some others yet to be determined at this date. It promises to be a good nite!

S.B.B. — Ze Słowem Biegnę Do Ciebie

Review by maciek

4%20stars Highly recommended album, everything you want from symphonic prog. Difficult to compare to other bands but at times there are hints of Yes and in the first track there are moments reminiscent of PFM,s first 2 albums. Great vocals and fluency and maintains direction, not an easy feat on side long tracks. Second track has a jazzier feel to it and contains some great keyboard work. Hard to get hold off, although I managed to obtain some material from the common file sharing programs.

FOCUS — Hamburger Concerto

Review by olimparadis

5%20stars Here a wonderful album from those swedish genious. Those who believe that Focus' career has been turning around the single ''Hocus Pocus'' should take a look at this masterpiece. On the first side you'll find four nice songs with interestings riffs that you'll keep in your heart for a while. The last track ''Humburger Concerto'' is a real wonder. All is evolving perfectly and all is brillant and deep. This song make the album a must. Discover it now!

EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) — Brain Salad Surgery
Review by Ian_Griffith (Ian)

5%20stars ‘If your looking for safe, critic-approved, politically correct pop music enlightenment’ ….f**k off. Carl Palmer could not have but it better (expect for that last bit which I put in to make it sound better).

Before this Album the only ELP song I had heard was 'I believe in Father Christmas’. I just thought they were an ordinary pop band. But boy was I wrong. I can clearly remember hearing ‘Toccata’ for the first time and it still as sounds as fresh as it did the timing hearing it as does the rest of the Album. This album still sands shivers up my spine. Not else much to say other than jaw dropping, bombastic brilliance In my opinion along with KC ‘Red’ and Yes “Close to the edge” these are the defining albums of the genre.

ELP broke every rule with this album. In the end isn’t that what Prog rock is?


____________________________________________________

Had anything been said here? An Album that broke every rule, defining album of the genre. Everything else are personal impressions, plus an unnecessary f word.

Not a review really.
Percussion, sir!

Review by slaver (dave)
Posted 11:48:24 AM EST, 5/31/2007

1%20stars So to my review of an album most seem to regard as a classic.

On first listen I hated it in that I found no melody whatsoever, just a lot of anger that sounded like Creed or any number of Grunge rock bands on speed. To the tracks - 1. The Grudge - Grunge for psycho's. Not bad 2. Eon Blue Apocalypse - A meaningless intro to the next track, the Patient 3. The Patient - Sounds like Creed or Nirvana hungover. Repetitive nonsense. 4. Mantra - A ghost with a sore tummy? 5. Schism - Repetitive but not bad in a hypnotic way. 6. Parabol - Meaningless Drivel leading into next track. 7. Parabola - Nirvana' s collective bad dream. 8. Ticks and Leeches - Starts of like a bad drum solo with dumb lead kicking in. Then tries to become some sort of Thrash, Death Metal thing. 9. Lateralus - Starts off trying to hypnotise me with a lead guitar then bores me with full on repetition that just gets more noisy. 10. Disposition - Nursery rhyme for the guitar. 11. Reflection - Another dumb drum, bass thingy. Glad I can't see my bored looking reflection in a mirror. 12. Triad - Just noise. 13. Faaip De Oiad - Yep and Faaip this band too.

I've heard better stuff coming out of a bunch of 14 year olds with instruments coming out of a garage. When Tool grow up they want to be Korn.

Sorry guys but this is not music.

________________________________________________________________


Now, I am a big Tool fan (not a fanboy), but to me, I genuinely believe this is an insulting review, especially the highlighted portions.  It wouldn't be so bad if the reviewer wasn't insulting the band.   And how could he say "this is not music"?  What else would it be? Confused

Maybe this could use some editing?
