Thanks for the replies.
I didn't reference the song or disc as I don't want to raise a stink or rock the boat,
as I tried to convey.  I will try a private message but, of course, I have no idea if that
could have a similar, negative effect.
 
Forgive me.  Only other similar type of forum I've posted out was a sports gambling one
(15-year membership, and this site--much more appropriate--is only my second, as
mentioned).  This other site sometimes gets mud-slinging nonsense going and I'm trying
to avoid the same.  I'm a rookie.
 
Don't worry...my skin isn't that thin.
Love the site and want to make it even better, if possible.
Reason I love it is because some of the reviews have encouraged me to hear some
previously unknown great music.  If I can do similar reviews that provide other people
with the same then maybe the world will become slightly better because of it.
 
InstrupsychedeMelodramatic, perhaps.

I actually (just now) checked the reviewer info and I see that they are still active.  Review is
7 years old so I wasn't sure...

I have no idea what review specifically you are referring to (a link to the review would be nice). Plus, I have no idea what track you are referring to (a name of the track and the album it's on would be nice as well).

You can send a PM to that person in which you can suggest the correction. You click on the author's username, which will take you to his collaborator page, and click on "Send Private Message (forum)".

Hi.

Recent newcomer.
 
I hope to do some reviews but have a question about what one should do when another
review, of the same disc, has some bad information.  This particular case simply involves
stating a track was recorded live when it is a studio track.  This may seem mundane but it
is one of those tracks that I will make sure is stashed with my cryogenically frozen head once
I shuffle off, If you know what I mean (this track is immaculate, in my opinion).
 
I actually (just now) checked the reviewer info and I see that they are still active.  Review is
7 years old so I wasn't sure...
 
There is a "social review comments" option but I am considering a personal correspondence,
however those work, to find out if I'm greatly mistaken or to suggest a very minor edit to the
review;  I assume edits can be done but I'm not certain.
 
This may sound unimportant--in the scheme of things it probably is (what isn't?)
I will hopefully review the disc and said song will be big focus;  I want to clarify that it is a
studio track but don't want to mention other reviews or step on anyone else's toes.
 
I'll leave it at that as brain cramp has set it.
Wrong forum, maybe.
 
Crazy cookie-bomb for my first post.

Hi there Luca and SteveSmile
I took the liberty of moving your posts to the 'reviews discussion' - a thread we don't use enough imo......and this is certainly where Luca's question belongs.

Hi Luca

He was certainly on On An Island, Gilmour's last album. I am not aware of his appearance on the new one.

Phiiiiiish! I am the worst writer of all time, but my passion and love for music gets me through a review without wanting to kill myself after I've finished the bloody thing.

I use transition words a lot, like however, moreover, meanwhile and therefore to an ungodly degree.

you're not alone, but as long as your reviews are not surreal as such ... just take it easy Smile

So it does in Russian and Greek. But what does that have to do with the ongoing discussion here?

This is the ongoing discussion among a bunch of a cacademically minded altekackers (like myself) & The Sonia of Proctarchives. 
 
yep what Argonaught said! I second that too!
We are just a bunch of nincompoops taking advantage of the fact that Guldbamsen has not banned us yet to another thread LOL
Plus work and life itself is stressful enough, here atleast we can let our guard down and act very silly really LOL
