Reviews reporting thread

I've edited it slightly but if you feel it is still "inappropriate" please feel free to discuss it in the reviews discussion thread and we'll look at it further.

Review modified slightly to remove the overtly disrespectful elements.

It's a common error to click 1 instead of 5 or the opposite... loserboy is one of the most experienced reviewers here but that one reported should be among their first to be submitted and he might have confused. To be checked.

Yeah, but, as reviews go, they don't look too bad. Just a sign that we collectively need to write more.

I understand that everybody has its favorite bands, but when it comes to reviewing, I think someone should (at least) try to be as objective as can be. This reviewer, OPETHGUITARIST (???) (maybe just a fan) is obviously writing good reviews for the bands he's in, and NOT writing reviews, but some phrases about the bands he dislikes, in which they look like some pathetic musicians that will never reach the high level of his intelligence or his favorite bands' musical knowledges. I've met these kind of "blind fans" that are jalous of others' popularity (I'm not talking anout pop/dance bands, of course) and every time comes to somebody that makes great music and also have success, they give a lot of "arguments", just to convince you that their favs are the great bands ever. I personally don't like Opeth and I cannot see the progressive in their music, but it's just my problem, I'm not writing bad reviews about them, or trying to convince anybody that their music is stupid.

Great cover indeed, but the review must go, especially on account of that last sentence.

http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=173247 It contains wrong information, he's not Anderson who has really funny accent in the hare. Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond told the story, so Anderson would not be a great radio comedian, maybe Jeffrey would :)

Not a really bad review, but it looks like it's written as a response to Certif1ed's Watershed review.

^ I'm becoming a little frustrated at people's tendencies to one- or five-star reviews to make a point. The review Luke mentions is offensive because it explicitly states other reviewers don't know what they're talking about. That's against the guidelines. And it spoils the site.

I do wish the writers of these extreme reviews would have enough courage to consider why they differ from the majority, and to at least offer that reason as part of the explanation. Apropos of another thread, this is why it's very important not to be carried away with ratings, and to read the reviews.
