Check it: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=22960 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=22165 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=23268 There is even a guy that made an account exclusively to give BlacK Clouds and Silver Linings 1 star. This is just ridiculous.

Aye I'm kinda confused by this too.

Also on a Dream Theater note. I'm not sure whether or not this review is serious or not. But this reviewer is giving Stargazer 2 stars, purely on the fact that it's: Not progressive, sounds like Ronnie James Dio, and was groove/funk not metal, and it sounds like its straight out of the 70's.

Apparently, the reviewer doesn't understand the fact that, it's a cover of a Ronnie James Dio song, that was written in the 70's, and of course it's not progressive It's Dio.

Maybe. Also, maybe characteristic organ sound summoned the right associations )

There is nothing wrong with this review. But probably If the reviewer had heard the original song it would have been different!

Okay I have only listened to four of these tracks because they were leaked, but from what I've heard,


Actaully not a bad review, pity.

I was looking for Riverside's ADHD album which is due to be released somewhere in June (don't know the exact date...) but I see that there are already 12 ratings without review...now I don't doubt that some of these have a legit preview copy but why post only a rating then? What is this...I think ratings without a decent review should not be allowed before the release date...

^ I deleted two and left the two that seemed like original reviews by two different writers.

^ thanks james, there are some multiple personality issues that should have been deleted a while back, I'll get right on it, same person as BRUTAL_PROG etc

Thanks also to Moris, the baddest dude on this site bar none. I just can't figure out if James Earl Jones looks comfortable in his digs or a little embarased.
