Reviewers should be judged too.

It's a plain simple question to answer, if you accuse a collab review of being a blatant lie I think it's no big deal to ask which one were you referring to.

I did reply, I said that you have before reacted on negative reviews on CS and when you asked me to clarify I just gave you the 2 recent examples why I assumed that this thread was an afterthought from that review.

For some albums I can think of even 2 stars would be very magnanimous.  By which you imply 2 stars is too high a rating for CV II  I love albums that come with a story and this thread has just raised my rating of 3 stars to 4 stars for CV II. Excellent addition to my prog rock music collection.  Seconded, my eyes always trump my ears when it comes to music

^You need a hug, come here 

Let me ask here flat out:  Are you the kind of person who thinks movies shouldn't have cuss words even if it's Martin Scorsese making a film about gangsters or, well, Wall Street thugs?  Because that's what this kind of demand comes across as to me.  And I am not saying there should be cuss words in a review, just comparing censorship in movies to complaints about 'nasty reviews'.  Some of us here like irreverence in writing.  It makes for engaging reviews, especially when it concerns terrible albums.  And yes, such things do exist.  So please allow us to have our pleasure.  There are enough fanboys to talk up bands and write glowing reviews anyway.  Since they care so much about music unlike, apparently, the nasty ones, I am sure writing a baseless review calling it the BEST PROG ALBUM EVAH or some such superlative won't be too much trouble for them.
