They aren't reviews, they're ratings There's a difference.

If rating is a review without words, what is a rating without points?

Dang, and I think of all the time I wasted actually listening to the records I reviewed ... and then rated

What does he do? Grab everything he can, listen to it once and never revisit it? That's 5250 reviews all told.
Let's see, joined January 31, 2006.
That's 620 days so he's doing 8.46 reviews a day.
If we assume that he's listening to each album to refresh his memory and that an album take 40 minutes to play, that means he's spending just over 5 and a half hours a day on the average to give us thoughtful and insightful ratings of those albums.
No wonder he's not writing reviews; he doesn't have the time!!!
Just to double check, let's see how he rates the albums that I felt were so awful I had to give them one star.
Yes -- Open Your Eyes 1 star
Tony Banks -- The Fugitive 2 stars
Rick Wakeman -- Rock and Roll Prophet 1 star
Well, at least he knows what he's talking about.
What a dedicated guy!

When you look at the ratings chronologically, they were done by the first letter in the bands name. But the ratings were very spread out, and there weren't any I could catch that I disagreed with completely. I would say it's fine, not that my opinion matters.

I just found this randomly by clicking around, and it turns out this guy must know what he's talking about. Although I've never heard this album, it seems to be a good review. He must not do reviews cause they would be so in depth. Also, this proves you wrong when you said that he never said a word. |

I remember this review of his being discussed in one thread before:
