and this one by the same reviewer (In fact, I suggest looking at all his reviews.)

EDIT: Nevermind, the only other questionable review is this one, the others are all fine.

This album is one of 3 masterpieces created by Blind Guardian, two others are Nightfall... and Somewhere Far Beyond. Once BG is defined here like progressive I have no doubt to give this album 5 stars. For those progheads who never heard BG before I would suggest to start with their best album 'Nightfall...' and take care this is power metal in the end :-)

He doesn't mention anything about the music at all. (I wrote a review more descriptive than that for a Doors album and had it deleted.)

Either are too short... they count as a rating without reviewing.

What about this?

The "review" is useless, it can only be counted as a rating only....

Still, I would advise the person to follow the guidelines.

Review by progressive

5%20stars I think this album is almost too weird (but not exactly very original), even wannabe, alternative, and maybe somehow boring, shuffling it all round and round. Avant-garde seems to be somehow popular, but this definitely has enough massive elements of avant-garde metal, avant-garde and for example technical metal, mixed with symphonic (but fragmented) female fronted metal. The vocals are very refreshing (at least sometimes, there's whole new way to sing). This is best things that has come in progressive metal field in these times, though I don't exactly like the style so much and the songs could have still some more balls (that's why I don't analyze all the songs here, they are quite similar to each other) - so i give five stars, not four. Dynamic music rules, I can't resist it, sorry.

A five-star review has never looked so 2 or 3-star.... Man, the guy says it's boring, he doesn't like the style, not very original... yet five stars??
