I like Ricochet review very much - it's interesting to read, although not very easy, it's deep and profound, and I agree with the rating given and what he's saying to support his rating. I consider removing of the reviews of this kind to be a mistake.
 
From other hand, as long as we have "report inappropriate review" in "abuse" section of forums, where everyone can inform on anything he or she finds inappropriate or abusive or too hard to comprehend, it's Mystic Fred's right to call nonsense any review which does not make sense for him, notwithstanding whether it's been written by Collaborator or anyone else.
 
Being totally against any humiliation, I must admit that it is difficult to draw the line where critisism stops and humiliation starts.

This one has fanboy written all over it.  Says nothing at all about the record.
 
LONDON UNDERGROUND — London Underground
Review by info

5 stars When this album is ending you want listen it again, the better things an artist would. Only today I've listen the first time this work and I would like to play with them. I find this album fantastic, better than very many others celebrated bends. Really.

TANGERINE DREAM — Hyperborea

Review by Sean Trane (Hugues Chantraine)
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog-Folk Specialist

2 stars I remember seeing one of Tom Cruise's early film called Risky Business and remember wanting to see it for the soundtrack full of TD . Well the film was apt enough (I was twenty or so and those kind of movies spoke to me at the time as my parents were leaving us the house as they went globe-trotting for three or four weeks periods) , but I remember being slightly deceived by the soundtrack. Well the music seemed to come out of this album , I am probably mistaken for the actual facts but not in the spirit of the statement.

I had not heard this until last week when I borrowed it from the library , but I would like to thank both Progarchives and the library for giving me the urge to discover this and for giving me the chance to fill that urge very cheaply as I would not have been fullfilled by it (but somehow , I knew that before borrowing it).

There are much better TD records than this . This is still a normal TD album especially for what was to come , but compared with earlier albums , this should be avoided . Hence the 2 stars rating.

I'd like the conflict over my review here to be...kinda...stopped,if it's possible.I myself have already passed over it,it's no big deal,things should go on,not stagnated on the issue.

Still,if I can ask for something,its not respect or insult-protection,but to have in mind (for next times) that neither casual read,nor "losing interest" is really something unappropriate.

Smile peace.

An older one I stumbled upon:

RADIOHEAD — Ok Computer

Review by grego

1 stars Thumbs down on York and the bunch. I've heard this album over and over in the last six years, in many different states of mind, emotions, attitutes, etc., and I don't even own the damn thing, so take me seriously as someone who has acutally given this album a chance and hasn't come to a dramatic conclusion after 3 or 4 listens. When I go over to someone's house, one of the first things I'm drawn to is their album collection. More often than not, this hauntingly produced, oversold "masterpiece" always rears its sneaky head out of the middle of a rack of albums, and is usually their favorite of the bunch. Truth be told, this is prog for dummies. It breaks barriers, yes, but those barriers were set by awful bands, CEO's, meaningless ratings, and most other forms of bull[&*!#] that keep really good music off the shelves. If mainstream got any tamer, Pooh Goes on a Picnic would end up being labeled prog by the robots shopping at Sam Goody. I just don't want to hear this album again and am sick of hearing "amazing" and Radiohead in the same sentence. If droning, uninteresting banter is now labeled amazing then get me out. I give OK Computer one star because it's the best radiohead album out there. Amnesiac is horrible, by the way. In any case, get it outta here!!!

THE ARTHUR BROWN BAND — The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown

Review by SYMPHONICAGE

5 stars The largest album of the Proto Prog! "Fire" (Brown/ Crane/ Kerr/ Finesilver) is a generational hymn. But it is not all. Arthur Brown is in possess a voice that to define fiendish is say all and Vincent Crane is the second mind of the band. "Prelude- Nightmare" (Brown) and "Come And Buy" (Brown/ Crane) are the absolute of the Psychedelic Prog! "I' ve Got Money" is a tax to James Brown (that thinking wrote to Arthur Brown!!!) and "Put A Spell On You" (Jay Hawkins) is a Blues that here becomes fiendish. The largest disc of the Proto Prog deserves more of 5/5 But this is the utmost that I can give.

What about this one?

ENO, BRIAN — No Pussyfooting
Review by Frippertron

1 stars Sorry.. This just did not interest me at all. The type of "music" (I use that word very carefully) anyone with an echo machine and a lot of time on their hands producing sheer terrible noise.

I am so glad I only listened to it and didnt buy it.

Save your money. DO NOT BUY!

And this is our old friend.... Besides the usual language problems, it really does not say a lot about the album to people who've never heard the songs in question.

NEW TROLLS — '67 - '85
Review by MANDRAKEROOT (Andrea Salvador)

— First review of this album —

1 stars ANOTHER COMPILATION? UHM... BAH...

Not will understand ever the politics of the labels. With everithing the compilation of New Trolls more or except for official that is necessary there was to publish this compilation?

Certainly a lot song deserve but it is useless to compile a compilation with songs like "Là Nella Casa Dell'angelo", "Cosa Pensiamo Dell'amore?", "Anche Noi", "Prima Del Concerto" or "Il Serpente" that will be also good songs but today do not say nothing.

Certainly for who it does not know the New Trolls is a good compilation. For myself, that I know them, it is alone too long. And difficult to listen to all of a breath.

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

Speaking merely as a casual-reader at this site (my opinion carries no weight even with myself), I truly enjoyed this review.

Rico..I may have lost interest in reading your difficult review, but I didn't report it, and neither would I have.

RUSH — R30 - 30th Anniversary World Tour
Review by krampfadergeschwader

5 stars i think there is enough said about that show, that dvd, the band rush in general, the listed songs, the missing songs, the sound, the picture, geddyalexneil and so on and so on....



one review had realy anoyed me: the one that said something negative about the german anouncements. well, i am from germany and i am realy sad and very unhappy that i missed ALL german shows in 2004, because i got to know rush in 2005 :-(



so it is a real pleasure for me watching rush in frankfurth with geddys anouncemts in german and the crowd having a great time and showing it's appreciation ... so i think it is just fine that geddy has learnd some german words.



so if there is anyone out there, not knowing what geddy says in his german anouncements:

danke/dankeschön/ dankesehr = thank you (very much etc.) bevore earthshine: herzlich willkommen zu unserer jubiläumsshow = welcome to our aniversaryshow gute nacht = good night (belive it or not :D )

thats all i think.... ;)

by the way: i love this concert! 12 rush-less years and then a live DVD from frankfurth! thats grand!

a must have!
