Under consideration. (Subsequent comments noted, thanks guys

y'know there are ways of saying exactly what he wants without breaking rules, or making us all sick

^ unlike most of his reviews, I find this a bit offensive to be honest

Sorry to see that my Popol Vuh review has created a stir. I will cut the paint with his dick part if that satisfies the critics. It was only written to emphasize that I feel that the music is art for arts sake. If it´s offensive for anybody I´ll change it. No sweat. My opinion and the 1 star rating stands though. I think my review is valid and an honest opinion ( I do describe how the music sounds, the musicianship and the production), but I can understand that some people might be offended by the aforementioned part. Just PM me if it´s your decision that it should be changed and I´ll change it right away.

As a site note there was actually a Danish artist called Jens Jørgen Thorsen who painted with his dick to make art for arts sake and that was what I was refering to. Sometimes I forget that we have different backgrounds and therefore different references as well. In my country this would not be considered as offensive as it apparently is in other countries. I´ll try and restrain myself next time.

interesting point this one about culture, I totally agree
I was not offended by the review, but the band might be... Wink

When referring to body parts in a review, you should use the anatomically correct term. LOL

He did make a pretty controversial movie about Jesus.

I've voiced my dissapointment (and I'm far from alone) in allowing reviews of non-released albums to clog our homepage. It seems nothing will ever change in that matter and as a result our website features albums that are going to be released in JANUARY already reviewed..... I don't know, for me that looks SO un-professional... The latest one is this one http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=188898 for Frost* most recent.

Please, I guess you realize this is all for love to the website. I don't gain or lose anything with this.

I, personally, don't think anyone should be allowed to tell other people what to rate a prog record. We're all adults here, so we can make up our minds as to whether or not a disc gets a good rating. Who cares if it was their first disc or not?
