I explained in my comment why I stick around PA. I don't come around much unless I'm asked to or I feel like taking the plunge when I get an email notification. PA has a reputation---not a good one. It would be great if some of the mods decided to take that seriously.

Alright if you say so. Just out of curiosity: what would you have our moderators and admins do? What is the problem? As I mentioned earlier on, we almost never moderate or alter reviews unless they are downright offensive or the result of illegal downloading. Oh and every music site out there has a bad reputation elsewhere on the internet. Nothing new there. |

Thank you! And my apologies for the somewhat harsh post. I wasn't specific enough in my previous one trigger any action, and misse the fact that you were gone for two days.

Is that so? Some of these reviews look like they are written by the same person. I can only hope that he's not doing it himself... Fooling yourself as a recording artist is not a good idea, and from what I heard this afternoon (first listen) it's far from a 5-star album...

Personally I found his previous one to be more interesting, as this one got to be a tad too fragmented for me. It does live up to it's title in that context though.

I saw that too, but then again people are allowed to rate albums according to their tastes. It is perfectly ok to think that *insert prog classic* is crap.

And he is surely real. There is also a thread about Haken started by him

I just noticed there are reviews for all of Australian Instrumental guitarist Plini's releases on here and all are getting 2 star ratings from memowakeman which are qualified with this "Now don't pay attention to my rating, because as a reviewer I have my "own rules" which don't allow me to rate releases under 20 minutes with more than 2 stars, unless it is the EP or single of my life."
Isn't that a bit unfair to be tainting the reviews for all of these simply because they are EP's and classified so on Progarchives. I can see this is a very reputable reviewer but this seems unfair to me.

^ The guy can't even write. See his "review" about Magma's brilliant K.A.
Such accounts should be deleted, they just give a bad name to ProgArchives, and do harm to the credibility of this great site. |

I looked at his dubious ratings list. I would suggest the reviewer lacks context, perspective and musical knowledge. Just perusing a few 1 or 2 star ratings leads me to believe the gentleman is clueless: Miles Davis - A Kind of Blue Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Frank Zappa - Hot Rats Chicago - The Chicago Transit Authority Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories Herbie Hancock - Sextant From a critical standpoint, I don't think even the most jaded professional critic would have the balls to rate these one or two stars without being laughed off their job at the newspaper or magazine. The musicianship alone warrants a positive rating. |

We often come across these all-or-nothing people. Luckily so they tend to be as forgettable as sausages - y'know the ones that get left behind on the grill.
PA, on the whole, is rather more like this: ![]() |
