Sorry if I don't have links (too complicated!LOL), but the Supertramp reviews written by a member called Cacho are next to unintelligible. At the moment there are at least three on the home page, and they sort of stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

^ It goes with his Crime of the Century review - makes sense (well to me anyway) if you read one after the other. Nothing wrong with his reviews IMO.

His Floyd's reviews will have to be redone... tough to understand and he also criticized the ratings attached per other reviewers.

Seems a product of an online translator, sure it's hard to understand but not more than any other person that uses this translators.

True - but with Guigo's Borat remark in mind they're funny to read. Reading through the text does show motivation for the ratings Smile

Hmm, there's a review of Mike Oldfield's latest CD from last November up here, and the release date is half-way through March. It's EvilNight and I remember him also reviewing 01011001 before its commercial release, so perhaps he gets promotional copies?

I don't want to report him before I know whether it's abuse or not, so this is simply a "just so you know"...

We spotted this one when it arrived - it's a valid promo copy review.
 
 
/edit - not so sure about the two ratings-only ratings though Confused

First off, drops an f-bomb in the review (a big pa no-no, lest I'm mistaken).
 
The other part is more up to opinion, but I feel that the reviewer is critiquing/reviewing (seems like slamming at some points) the band the mars volta through the lens of the album, rather than actually reviewing the album.
 
 I'm not too sure about this part (whether it's up to pa standards), but I figured I'd blow the whistle on the cursing at least.

Weird... he's the lead singer of SOLSTICE COIL (http://www.myspace.com/shirdeutch) and TMV are amid his influences.

To be checked.

I haven't thoroughly read his review, but consider it healthy enough to be left. No problem in negative reviews, ey?

PINK FLOYD — Wish You Were Here
Review by cacho

5%20stars The Band is just Fantastic oh by the way this is Pink Floyd!!! Awsome album.

SOYCD: The highlight and one of best prog songs from Floyd and maybe of prog. WTTM:Can you believe this was one of my first favourite Floyd song. Very experimental use of machines and synthetizers. A real experimentation. Have a Cigar: Wow awsome rock song. Great guitar solo. Great Waters intro. And very good keyboards in it. WYWH: An unexpected song from Pink Floyd. Although a very good acoustic one. Very recomendable.

Well this album is the 2nd but for me 3rd masterpiece from Floyd. Exellent no downfalls at all.



think it's a weak review, especially after reading his bit better and stronger one on Supertramp.

This is just a chart abuse, these two profiles:

http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=16705

and

http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=7785

Plus, their ratings (manipulations) are too similar...

Holy God....Is there something honest in this reviews? The use of Mandrakroot as a name is really abusive.
 
Look at the ratings of both:
 
MANDRAKROOT
 
 
Stagger Lee
 
 
I'm a Genesis fan, but this is abuse, I believe the reviews and ratings of both must be deleted. obviously is the same person.
 
Hardly two guys will mention Renaissamce (Sheherezade), Le Orme (Uomo Di Pezza), Gryphon  (Red Queen to Gryphon Tree) and Camel's Moonmadness to give only one star, because they are so diverse thaat the odds of two persons with such coincidence must be 1 in 10,000 if not less....If this same two persons like the same Genesis albums and Voyage of the Acolyte, the odds should be more or less the same you need to win the Lotto.

Thanks, Moris... we'll be checking them all... but the process of deleting a great amount of reviews (if proved abusive) is really painful and dragging.
