Technically you have enough reviews and they're good, Anthony, but I think the Admins would ask you to bring some diversity and move towards lesser known bands and albums (and I agree with that).

Maybe they just don't care any more?

I prefer writing short and to-the-point reviews. I hate reading paragraphs about each band member's favorite foods and what their favorite color is.

OMG!

Guelb er Richat structure. With a diameter of almost 50 kilometers (31 mi), it has become a landmark for Space Shuttle crews. Initially interpreted as a meteorite impact structure because of its high degree of circularity, it is now thought to be merely a symmetrical uplift (circular anticline) that has been laid bare by erosion. Paleozoic quartzites form the resistant beds outlining the structure.

Ring a bell?

I was hoping someone would catch that :D

Did you just find it now by chance or you knew?

It doesn't need to be a dissertation, but maybe focus on the tracks or something to add a little bit more to the review.

I've got about 300 more than you and I'm still not cool enough to be considered for Prog Reviewer status. Though I'm actually going for prog electronic team.

Make yours slightly longer, and I'm sure you'll get it.

I'm pretty sure 30 Necron-sized reviews would give you a PR status.

As long as your reviews aren't Sean Trane short, you're all good.

Speaking of length...it really should be quality over quantity.
Like a ton of 100 word reviews shouldn't cut it...but Kevin those 10million word walls of jizzrockets is kind of....erm...horrifying LOL

That would also take a geologic era to actually write.

Me neither, my only review is pretty short.

I'm positive that my personal goal will never be met, and I guess I'm okay with that.

Well you need 30 and you have nearly 50 but you need a much greater variety. The key is to review obscure albums. Senmuth might be a good place to start, or this Phrozenlight dude. It's just a matter of making the admins notice you. I've read some of your reviews and they're good, but most of them are from Yes LOL
