hahahaha earlyprog, LOL that's cheeky and naughty too Big smile
It's your opinion, luckily not everyone's.
By actually reading the 15 reviews by PA Collaborators not mentioning others, one can clearly see and feel they did listen to the album Approve maybe you can't but I can tell yes ahum yep they did Wink

Perhaps not so clearly. Indeed that review was on 28 December. You commented about it on 6 January

4. A band uses the album cover for peeps to buy the album and the cover is a sin to humanity and human decency, especially if the album cover has a women wearing French knickers and her boobs are covered.  
This is just a few of the negative comments made by so called "prog aficionados" this is the silly reality one has to deal with, yes we are very silly lol Big smileLOL

and on 28 January you posted again referencing to that review

I know (this is my point of view and thinking) they thought it would be pointless and make it worse as it obviously would bring a negative backlash to them. I can see why they would think such thing.
Collabs make mistakes too, they should know better compared to a person who is a new member and wrote one single review with a real profile also is allowed to be overlooked in this case. Confused

So it's not like that review and your thoughts about it are things from months ago, so I don't think I can be blamed for guessing that this thread was still an afterthought coming from there (you deny so but when I asked you which other review was the trigger you can not give me any concrete answer).

I will not apologise again. Full stop.

2. Needs a female vocalist, show me any CS review that says this? I said this on the 6th of January, yes true.  And as you quoted me above of course I am influenced by what I read and see, this is natural.


and on 28 January you posted again referencing to that review

Referencing to what review? I am lost here. This below was as a reply to a review reporting thread and me coming to the defense of someone who made a review.

Again the above was in response to a review made by someone and me coming to their defense there, in the review reporting thread. Quite the contrary to what you accuse me of doing.

Is this all you got? You still have not responded to what I requested from you by showing me the proof of what you said I have said which is unfounded and not true.

[/QUOTE]
You tell me. There are only 2 collab reviews with less than 3 stars for that album, and I don't think you can accuse one of them of being a "blatant lie". That leaves only one possibility in my book, but please enlighten me (and actually I don't think you can accuse that last one of being a "blatant lie" either anyway, please clarify what exactly is a blatant lie in that review, rather than a personal opinion, or clarify which other review you were referring to as being a blatant lie).

In any case I have responded enough, more than you to me, which on my question on which review(s) prompted you to start this thread you can only reply "I'm influenced by what I read".

So far I have replied to all your questions. I asked you a question first yet have got no reply from you. You stated things that I said which are not true. Stop going around in circles.

No you have not. Please answer which collab review about CS you were referring to as a blatant lie. 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.

I asked you to show me where did I have a go at a reviewer for posting a negative review??? Do not quote reviews reporting thread as I did not mention anyone and was defending a review from someone who made a review for CS. The dates are very conflicting too from the date I posted the forum topic. This came after.

It depends on what one considers to be "a high rating". 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 CS II LOL

I love albums that come with a great story and this thread has just raised my rating from 3 to 4 stars for CSII. Excellent addition to my prog rock music collection. Thumbs Up
