It only cites the album credits but has nothing to say about the music.
 
But it could well be that he just wanted to amend the album entry because this one has only titles but no musicians and inadvertently sent it as a review.

Errrm.... the album is due in just under 2 months and only available for pre-order, how can this 'review' exist??? Not to mention the 11 ratings without review... Here we go again folks.

Ayreon, once more.

http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=154828

I put out an e-mail to Arjen Lucassen and posted a question on Progressive Ears, there is a rumour about a promo of the full album going around. If that's true, we'll have to be careful with this, otherwise, all reviews until January 27th are bollocks.

@Micky: you're welcome Wink

Here's the text, review removed meanwhile.
 
Edit - Someone has kindly done it already.Big%20smile
 
 
 De Lionel Beltrami, Asia Minor. Bonjour, ce soit-disant troisième opus d'Asia Minor est effectivement un découpage du premier album sans le chant et remixé. L'auteur et responsable est M . Bono, éditeur de profession, qui a fait cet album dans l'unique but de proposer des passages musicaux de l'album pour des documentaires, émissions, séries, films ou autres choses du genre; ce qui d'ailleurs a été fait, puisqu'utilisés à la télé comme au cinéma. Concernant l'apparition du nom d'Alan Parsons sur la pochette, M. Bono, sans demander vérification auprès du groupe, a prit seul cette initiative que je préfère ne pas qualifier ici, et a confondu (volontairement?) ce qui n'était qu'une rencontre bien réelle quant à elle en octobre 1979 entre Alan Parsons et nous à Paris, avec le fait que M. Alan Parsons aurait produit notre premier album Crossing The Line. Bien sûr, nous avons demandé à M. Bono à l'époque de faire le nécessaire afin que soit retirée immédiatement cette inscription mensongère figurant sur la pochette de ce disque. Voilà pour la petite histoire...

Another review of Ayreon's still unreleased album (from a Prog Reviewer!): http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=155268.

EDIT: and three ratings without reviews, it seems.

There is actually a promo copy of Ayreon's new album going around, Folly told me himself he had an opportunity to snag one.

Just thought I'd let you know.

^That's why Bob is checking, Shakespeare. There's another two RwRs on the album now, next to the one review.

Scroll down...to the two bottom-most reviews. They are informative, but two different albums deserve at least a few different sentences!

ANALOGY — Analogy
Review by thurnmithoff

4%20stars It is not for me to write a review of my own music. I'd just like to point out two things:

1. The album cover shown does not match the CD/LP portrayed here. It is the cover of a later album entitled THE SUITE, recorded in 1980 and published by Ohrwaschl Records, Munich. The correct album cover would show the band in the nude in the middle of a meadow. 2. Analogy is often portrayed as a Swiss band. Although we played a lot of gigs in Switzerland, the band was Italian as far as organisation, management and record label was concerned. Four of the five/six members were of German origin but lived and worked in Italy. The remaining members (Mauro Rattaggi and Nikola Pankaoff) were Italians to such a degree that they couldn't speak a word of German or indeed English for that matter.

This is not a review, just a comment from a band member about necessary changes.

This particular review I find largely inappropriate...

http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=30139

The reasons are that the reviewer mentions that Vincent Canavagh is not still in the band (!!!) and that he hears a mix of doom metal and alternative (!!!). He has not probably listened to the album once.

With all the respect for the reviewer, this is just not fair:

http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=155587 and
http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7195
(he didn't even bothered to remove the last paragraph).

Two different issues deserve more than just a copy/paste.
