As much as I disliked Lemur Voice's Insights, I'm pretty sure a review of the album is not the proper place to advertise a hacking company.
Marcus09 opened his PA account on this day just to place his ad on a randomly picked album, it seems. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2655863 |

it’s basically a French translation of the English review.

I know. I was just saying what it was, not condoning it.

I honestly don’t see the problem with this review at all. So long as an English review is given, I think we should allow someone to provide the review in their mother tongue underneath. Not least because some of the reviews we receive in English when that is not the native tongue are atrocious, and don’t really add anything to the site. An incomprehensible review is not helpful to the site, but it’s basically what the site asks for, by insisting on English reviews only. I would never wish to change the rule that reviews must be in English only, because it is a sensible one. But many people for whom English is not their native tongue are not at all fluent in it (or don’t know it at all, and are completely reliant on imperfect tools like Google Translate). By allowing someone to post their review in their own language under their English review is not something we should try and stop, in my opinion. The only time I would not want to see this practice of a dual language review is where it is obviously used to add to the word count - but that is clearly not the case here. |

In this "review" the person is just complaining about another review.

Yes, I noticed that. But probably both the author of this review AND the author of the review that is being complained about should have a word about their reviews necessitating editing, or incurring deletion. Because the complaint is a just one. It is ridiculous to claim someone is stealing ideas from something that hadn’t even existed at the time. I find fault with both reviews. If the former remains as it is, I think this complaint has a good reason to remain as well. 🤷🏻♂️ |

Review #305239.
Here are just 2 paragraphs from this: The groups Metallica or TOOL are better off sacrificed, they offer nothing new and are a turn out to the necessities in a society. The perversion they emphasize replaces the common sense or fabric of a lineage built on necessity. The groups are backstabbers looking for these lineaged individuals and then continuing for them what has been in that lineages fabric. The above has been proven in common sense and the perversion has become more than obvious in the reference the members do not have support from their parents and this causes large problems if bought into a private household. I have mentioned this in reviews that performances are not private areas such as homes and the exchange of a home for this album is banworthy in reflection. |

Wow! That’s a shocker. The whole review is crazy! 🤪 [EDIT] Looking at the other reviews from this ussr, 305239 is not the only one that needs deleting. Edited by nick_h_nz - March 22 2022 at 10:17 |

I guessed who it would be from the excerpt. He has been mentioned before. It is comedy, but I think some of his more offensive and most ridiculous ones have been deleted. Hilarious stuff, I think, but then I appreciate such absurdity. Appropriate, not really. I could not bring myself to delete such art, but another might.

Thanks Greg
 I too read his “reviews” like pseudo-comedy. Somehow reminds me of the flick ‘The Room’. |

Yep David. Actually, I read it as mostly pure comedy -- Phil Collins is Pseu Pseu Pseudio comedy -- a kind of performance art, but maybe it is like Tommy Wiseau or Ed Wood, and has that simcerity. I unironically love The Room. Hilariously bad. Funny stuff, meaning weird more than haha, no matter the intent.
But then I also love The Shaggs. Edited by Logan - March 22 2022 at 10:47 |

If the Admins think it's comedy, then no big deal. I did read some of his other reviews (The Genesis one, The Yes Album) and they do have some humor.

I treat it as comedic, and to me those are part of the lore that makes up Prog Archives. Take those out and to me this place would seem less fun and lessened. It has a kind of historical value to me. More historical then hysterical. Those are a part of this site’s fabric to me. Prog can be such serious business it seems sometimes.

^ While I understand that point of view, it is in my Oli I’m misplaced. To anyone who doesn’t know the historical context, it just looks like a review that requires reporting, regardless of any humour within. If that is not deleted, I don’t actually see the point in a review reporting thread. Just let them all stay. Even if these reviews were written to be humorous, and even if I find them humorous (which I do), they should have no place on this site. And they are not only just as bad as many posts reported in this thread, which are deleted, but worse. It doesn’t really matter if they were written with humorous intent, and it doesn’t really matter that they are humorous. But I’m not an admin, so I’m not going to argue the decision to leave them in. It wouldn’t be the first time this site has made an odd decision, and seemingly cares not about how it might look to those outside PA.
