Just my two cents.

I absolutely agree with this. I have said on several occasions that this type of nonsense causes the site severe reputational issues. In an ideal world, it would be better to have a sort of admin permission to publish a review, but I appreciate that is difficult owing to resource and the voluntary nature of the site.

I think that was Robert Fripp's band in secondary school.

That would sound infinitely better than the accounting firm moniker Giles, Giles and Fripp LOL

^ That's a plus. Appreciate it if you mean that you will try to contact the reviewer. I find being direct and comprehensible a challenge currently. Thanks, Ken. Well, actually it kind of always is a challenge. I'm not very comfortable being direct commonly and as for being comprehensible, I've been told that I barely say a word that can be understood (I think the words themselves are fine usually, it's more how I string them together).

I got hit with multiple COVIDs and flus (missed my boosters due to getting sick) and it has majorly affected my respiratory system. That is getting better slowly, but I feel like I'm in a fog all the time. And now I am barely sleeping. Not at all compos mentos and thus my depression has got worse. I am planning to go to California soon (my wife travels there now twice a month) and I think that should do me good.

Warnings usually are better left to Moderators, but I, from a strictly personal standpoint, would rather not be that official or officious at this time. That kind of thing takes its mental toll on me and I have not been doing that great health-wise (either physically or mentally, well, they work in tandem). I think someone may have tried to contact this person before, very unsure, vague and perhaps false memory of that.

Anyway here is the review as I like to preserve these before deleting.

It feels that if I write what I want they will turn me into this album cover? As far as concerned any group with modern progression of instruments can be considered progressive as all albums have changes in sound to some extent into of which are considered progressive since the elements included unto this album are from folk but into rock. This melded variation albeit is attempting to be unique and was at the time frame for the most part of trying to transcend musical tastes from folk to rock with folk rock. In then time many fans consider it as pushing the tide of sound but truthfully rock in general can be considered a progression from folk. In this regard but truly in progressive music if considering the whole genre to be progressive as this album of folk to rock attempts at enveloping collectively into progressive from previous that it returns to classical music will never be matched in progressions of its ever changing styles of rhythm as essential music that stands all time but just did not record to modern standards from then time.

That the root of progressive music can be viewed as classical composing and music while all else are applied variants disguising the classical into the modern by the modern innovation/progression of instrument. Pushing the tide and envelop of sound has long been staple of progressive music while embracing progressive music towards this understanding means progressive music becomes a catch all to vary any sound in any musical time frame and anything in between. The progression of modern instruments can be viewed as naturally progressing sound meaning any album can be viewed in this progression of sound which does not make any album nor worst or better but falls into all people will never agree with another in progressive as it is the agreed differences that make the progressions. This album is a fan favorite album that has transcended time but all albums should in this regard and don't think one does it any better than the other since even what one considers as the worst or most horrible album is still widely available to the public.

In transcendance the album is transcendant towards music not necessarily entirely progressive but used the flow of progressive instruments from one genre to another as only they could into providing the recordings they did. Just to note the musicians from this time era that are considered as the founders of progressive music never played on purpose progressive music meaning they did not define or a musician group member from then time did not explicitly label their sound according to information as progressive. The progressive genre was created after the fact as they all played to play cause simply that is what they like spending their time doing. And so with that observance included none of the groups are considered progressive or essential since simply they never thought of themselves as progressive musicians to begin with as it is other people attempting to create the label progressive. The labels into defining music in my opinion have to be labeled by the musicians or those who participated into playing.


I deleted the review for JT's Aqualung page, but its transcendent spirit lives on here.

ok, but, in the spirit quite opposite to this reviewer, I'm liable to be quite direct and comprehensible.  
And sorry about your health issues.  I totally understand the mind-body connection

Another word salad served by Wickie:
www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=3156942

Generic with hardly any references to the album and very hard to read, except maybe for people with a special talent for transcendant reading, whatever that might be.

yeah I read that one, dreadful.  Barely any references to the album itself in any detail.  The review seems to be saying that rock came out of folk and since Aqualung is folk into rock, it's mundane and worth 2 stars.  But I could be wrong  Wacko

Is it possible they don't want to use a translator and are trying to write intelligibly in English and failing?  Either way, it has to go, and maybe the writer has to be told why

^ I edited English as a second language papers for years and I can't even read through it now. My eyes are sore and brain is weary. Fine to see it gone, but I would like to be able to get through it before talking action if I were the one to take action. I do think that those reviews are weirdly written on purpose and it's not just a case of someone with limited English language skills. Translation software is quite good these days. That is written as gibberishy.

Please admin - papapork needs to go - another one star rating dismissal

I’ve just sent him a PM asking why he only reviews music he dislikes. I’ll report back on anything I receive. Don’t wait with bated breath though…….






I'll just listen to the album tomorrow.

^ Please PM to any Admin and ask him to delete your review. Only admins can delete reviews.

Another option (if you're familiar with the PEENAH DUTURE'S COSMIC VOYAGE album and can rate it but don't want to review it) is to edit your review (delete its text) and set desired number of stars.

This appears to be a review of the album Ghost Stories, not The Symbol Remains. I’ve PM’d the reviewer but no response
