Usually I will refrain from reviewing albums the average ratings for which I feel to be accurate estimates of the value I would assign to them. My rating could only raise or lower a general appraisal which I would opine to be fair, anyway. So I will primarily contribute to the critical analyses of albums that seem to be over-  or under-rated. Gentle Giant's Octopus would be one of such over-rated albums. . . . And finally, after having reviewed my? er? review, I can see that I've pretty damn well knocked Octopus down for the count ? the count to eight. *Winks.

Well, the options open to me are three-fold;

1. Ghost edit the review myself
2. Delete the review
3. Suspend/Delete the user

Who so much attention to that thing? He has clearly tried to be provoking, I can't be even sure that it's really his opinion about the album. I agree with Dean, let it be forgotten it doesn't deserve a thread.

I do acknowledge your rationale here if the reviewer is but a sad sack troll who merely craves attention, then ignoring him will result in their either leaving the site or ceasing to review albums.(No loss there I agree) We don't want potentially contributing members to stop reviewing albums or leave the site. If we ignore such disingenuous reviews in the hope that the practice will simply 'go away' when starved of the oxygen of publicity, ain't we setting ourselves up to be perceived as piss weak administration territory?  It would be unreasonable to expect the Admins to read every review but given that there is a very active thread dedicated to such monitoring, I can't see the worst offenders escaping detection and a warning PM does not feed any troll's thirst for notoriety.

Where is it? I want read it. I'm inclined from time to time to write uncalled for pieces of crap but I always have an open mind towards  the work of an expert.

So Gentle Giant are a punk band. After all these years. I can't believe it. gentle Giant.  Punk. I have a question. If Gentle Giant are pink then why are the here. Are they crossover punk?

*shrug* Once again my sarcasm flies over the head of its intended target and splatters against the wall of the obtuse and slides down to the floor in a sorry heap of dejected misery..
