I am not one in the same and wont debate you in this forum however if you want to pm me anytime that's fine.  The review was horrible and it is not there any longer as far as being a noob doesn't mean I have no knowledge of music

Our Puzzling Encounters Considered by PSYOPUS album cover Studio Album, 2007
2.84 | 9 ratings
BUY
Our Puzzling Encounters Considered
Psyopus Tech/Extreme Prog Metal

Review by \m/Br000tal_Pr0G_\m/

5 stars WOWz. EnuFF SAYED!

This album is straight up hardcore! I have never ever heard anything like this ever since Dream Theater's "Falling Into Infinity" album. Both vocalists on those albums can hit some really high notes, maybe they are related, that would be cool I think. WOW man, can you hear this guy play guitar? Its really crazy, I love it. Im good at guitar too, but maybe only half as good as this guy. HOW DOES HE SWEEP PICK LIKE THAT?! Im so jealous right now, thats why I gonna write a review for this album.

'Whore Meet Liar' is such a good track man, like WOW.....really really wow. Can you imagine how much Cooler it would be if there was some cowbell blast beats? Another thing that I really like about this music is the cover art its really cool and it reminds me alot of a painting on a wall, its really really inspirational and it makes me want to go and listen to this album again when im done eating my cereal.

Another great song is 'Kill Us'. Though, I dont want anyone to kill Psyopus because I like them alot this is a good song. It would a be classic if they changed the title, maybe to something like 'Kill You'. One thing that really thinks of this interestingly is how much it reminds me of the song "YYZ" by Rush. The musicship of both songs is just through the roof and I wish both of these bands will go on tour this summer and come to where I live so I dont have to get a ride there from my dad. Oh, my dad doesnt like Psyopus so I dont think he could do it. I dont know. But yeah man, the song 'Insects' is pretty rad too. Neil Peart is so cool too, I love that bandana that he wears on stage.

Chris Arp is really good at playing the guitar really fast, So im gonna give this rad album about 5 starz.


I agree. I don't think this guy should be on this forum.

Glad to be both the first and the least new person to point it out... I guess?

That guy was faking being....I don't know what...if you can listen to SEBtP and get that Wimpey Dreams refers to burgers, well the rest of that stuff is a complete put-on. So yet again it's someone insulting the site in general.....I'm all for humor but it's all in the timing. Know your audience, man. I think pretty much everyone here takes the reviews seriously because the database is the treasure around which the site is based.
 
Anyway....at first I thought it was just a kid, but after reading that it's just someone wasting review space.

can anybody answer me how a sold out album like LEAVING YOUR BODY MAP got so many recent 1 star reviews? How could so many people acquire an album that is not for sale anymore and give it 1 star?
 
 
EDIT: I meant ratings, and the same thing kind of happens with UNQUESTIONABLE PRESENCE, except that UNQUESTIONABLE PRESENCE can be bought nowadays

Here's abuse, and more good arguments for weighting of Collabs......clear attempts to manipulate one band over others.  Also note the "joined" and "last visit" dates.....likely the same person. 

Should these accounts be nuked?

You can find examples of this stuff all over the place, unfortunately.

It's the same thing over and over.....Push Floyd and nuke other high ranking albums.

what's up with infandous repeating all of his Flower Kings reviews today?

It's not an attempt to skew the ratings and his reviews are quite well-written.

It drives me nuts when people practice machine-gun reviewing....saving up huge quantity of reviews and then laying down like 20 at once.  Very inconsiderate to someone who has worked for hours to write a review in his/her free time, only to see it blown off the front page instantly by the machine gunners.  I realize having a review on the front page is no big deal to some of us veterans, but to newer reviewers and particularly slow reviewers it might be a big deal to them.  They post their hard work and it gets trampled by the machine gunners.  

I requested some reasonable limitation on the number of reviews per hour but there was no interest apparently.

^ I'd support a rule that restricts reviews per hour or something like it, though I'm not a machine-gunner and know not the erotic rush of saturating the front page..maybe it's addictive, but I'd still like to see a reasonable limit and I'd think it would benefit everyone

You could call me a machine gunner, but that wouldn't be all that fair, really. I only write reviews when I'm really in the mood, but then I stay in the mood. I sit down and for two or three hours churn out lengthy and thought out pieces (that being basically the only skill I have anywhere in the world at the moment--yay English major). I don't try to overtake the front page, just to tackle a band and wrap up their discography or something. There was a point where I had written six or seven reviews showcased on the newsletter. I do it only with the best of motives.

So it is entirely plausible that this person is simply a big fan of The Flower Kings who decided to sit down and really make a contribution?

^ oh it's quite plausible, but if they had to space their posting a bit it would actually give all that hard work more coverage while preventing oversaturation

I'm just saying that, such as in my example, self-promotion is hardly even a passing thought. I only care to have my review on the album page and my rating adding its value to the mix. Front page shenanigans are only incidental. I'm surely not the only one here like that.

Not abuse but there are duplicate reviews by two different people for Between the Buried and Me's Colors.

c fynes and Conor Fynes
Metal Style and Metalstyle

I am unsure which ones should remain.
