^ ChatGPT agrees...
This review has a few layers worth unpacking. While it provides some potentially useful opinions about the music, the language and tone detract significantly from its credibility and impact. Here's a breakdown: Positives:
Negatives:
How to Improve:
Revised Example:"If you're a fan of albums like Moving Pictures or Worlds Apart, this one might be worth adding to your collection. While songs like Fool For Your Love and Say Goodbye lean more toward straightforward rock, tracks such as Magic Power and Fight the Good Fight showcase varied structure, tempo, and memorable melodies. While opinions on what qualifies as 'prog' differ, this album has its place among its contemporaries." |

This one has to go due to overt homophobic attacks on other reviewers or detractors. It's their first review and they just joined today

What I find puzzling is that AlainPp posted on the forums just to say a generic "hello" message and then disappeared into radio silence once again.
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133946 I'm starting to lean more and more into suspecting a troll. Edited by Hrychu - November 30 2024 at 15:01 |

NEAL MORSE Neal Morse & The Resonance: No Hill for a Climber music review by alainPP
Alainpp does it again. I can't make head nor tail of this review, it sounds like he doesn't really like the album but he gives it four stars??

Easy to find with google cache still or by checking in with us at the forum if he did not save it and really misses it. Although I expect that he would not be surprised to see it taken down and probably did not spend very long lovingly crafting that review to get just the right balance of righteously condescending indignation and outrageous hyperbole.
By the way, about my "And you must be stoned to like it" comment in case it was not clear to all, that was referencing the "...hoping that some stoner somewhere might find some kind of satisfaction or solace in its withering excuse for a musical performance. In fact you'd have to be half baked (or better still fully baked) to even begin to approach any kind of appreciation for this drivel but seeing as I've never been into that sh*t..." commentary. I quite enjoyed it, quite funny in its way, and I have not been stoned since some kid I went to school with threw a rock at me (well, I guess I have been "beautiful" in the Hendrix sense many times since). Yes, I am experienced. Edited by Logan - November 20 2024 at 00:53 |

^ I find the ian j. ferris review much more compelling. It tells a story and frankly is better-written.
Ah well, here's hoping he saved it or realizes it's been posted here. |

it sets such a low bar compared to the following review which is easily my favourite 'ranty' review of all time https://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=18889 Copy and pasted for posterity (please don't ever delete this review!)

A crap is crap is a crap, and crap by any other name would smell as crappy.
While I do find it amusing, it's basically just a very long, steaming log saying "It's crap" multiple times. And you must be stoned to like it. It's as vacuous as a hoover's rectum (much like ELP some might say). ;) I will save it here for posteriority-sake.

^ I agree, it is a tour-de-force of disappointment, and should remain in all it's hideous grandeur.

I would like this to be removed please for what should be obvious reasons (the poor use of 'language' at least). I understand this guy wanted to rant but that's not a good reason for a review is it?

It's incompetent and careless. This user could not care less how and where to post the track list.

This is weird. There is a big plain visible FORUM button on the top. I think the forum is even easier to access than the review writing section. And the thing is, if you can post a review, that means your account is also eligible to post on the forums. xD I mean, it only takes a few minutes to read the rules right next to the review input field. 🤣

It was done like that because the album was missing the info. Obviously not the right way, but it says on the album page
as it says on the album page https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=33893, please add. Songs / Tracks Listing (please add) Line-up / Musicians Vahan Artrsruni (please add) Releases information Producer-Naregatsi Art Institute in 2002 Most registered users cannot add directly to the pages of course. I will remove the non-review and would add that to the album details but maybe E&O will see this and want to do it properly. |

somewhat?! New users used to explore the site, learn how to post, quote, edit, post photos, videos, links and so on. Not anymore it seems...

Probably the user just used this somewhat mistaken way to communicate missing album information.
