nice addition and review....  but this album hasn't been released yet... and it sure as hell isn't 2008 yet

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere...

The original release dates for the album would have been to aim for a Halloween release, this was later pushed back to the 5th, 9th and 12th of November 2007. In September 2007, Oldfield and Universal decided to delay the release of the album until January 2008, for personal reasons. In November the release date was again put back until March 2008.

Yes, I support myself the idea of not adding (and especially not reviewing) an album if it hasn't been officially released, even if all the infos on it are already tidily official. Ayreon's latest was, recently, added (and heavily reviewed/rated) in the same manner.

But then again you have to admire someone who can make up a review about something they couldn't possibly have heard. Tongue
Or maybe, damn time travelers!  Always have to get in the first word, don't you?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

well it is a game of sorts for some to have the 'first review' of an album...

as far as not possibly hearing it....I'm quite sure he has.... the album is obviously complete.. and has probably leaked out...  the internet isn't just for porn you know LOL

Well, if he's actually heard it and of course by the review I expect he has, just let him slide, damn time travelers! Angry

but for a thing called the rules here.... if it isn't been officially  released... and the guy can't prove he got the album other than 'stealing' it. .  Then it isn't allowed here.

I actually checked that review with the reviewer when it appeared. He does have a legitimate advance copy.

Mike Oldfield steals Magma song titles AND their riffs! =P

it'd be neato to see reviews written before an album's release have their date highlighted in red
