I just came across this little gem a few minutes ago:

GONG Radio Gnome Invisible Vol. 2 - Angel's Egg
Review (Permanent link) by Symphonic Age @ 2:51:41 PM EST, 6/22/2005

5 stars  —  Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!Crazy LP! Crazy band! Crazy who it listen to it! Oh, yes... Why alone a band that wanted to distinguish does this music! The genre? Beh... Very Crazy Prog! "Angel's Egg" is therefore a LP from Cabaret, of the true one! A Musical without theatre! Here in your ears!
 
The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

As i posted in the 'greatest review ever written here' thread,

Here's some of my favorites:

DREAM THEATER Train Of Thought progressive rock album and reviews Progressive Metal
(Studio Album, 2003)

DREAM THEATER "Train Of Thought"
Review (Permanent link) by ProgressiveVoyage @ 6:39:36 AM EST, 10/20/2005

1 stars   In 1979, Dream Theater performed for the first time an album they called Master of Puppets, later illegally downloaded by Metallica and recorded as a studio album. In response, Dream Theater released Train of Thought, to show that they were blatantly the creators of all of Metallica's riffs. Similar things happened with Tool and Muse.

So Train of Thought is A re-release of Master of Puppets.
 
KING CRIMSon In the Court of the Crimson King progressive rock album and reviews Symphonic Prog
(Studio Album, 1969)
KING CRIMSON "In the Court of the Crimson King"
Review (Permanent link) by ProgressiveVoyage @ 7:09:16 AM EST, 10/20/2005
5 stars   King Crimson began their days as a variety act led by Robert "Tony Visconti" Fripp known as "King Crimson And His Amazing Coconuts". Fripp was well-known for opening his concerts by saying, "I'm King Crimson, and these are my Coconuts!" A few years later, the band was railroaded by John "Moneyman" Wetton, who forced them to smash their wind instruments and go totally metal. This made Fripp so tired that he went into a deep sleep for five years. When he woke up, he found that a curse had been placed on him that would cause any band he touched to become King Crimson. The first and only victim of this curse was the Talking Heads. Fripp now wears rubber gloves, and it apparently counteracts the effect quite well.

But this is a masterpiece, so buy it!

ZAPPA, FRANK one Size Fits All  progressive rock album and reviews RIO/Avant-Prog
(Studio Album, 1975)
ZAPPA, FRANK "One Size Fits All "
Review (Permanent link) by ProgressiveVoyage @ 7:03:58 AM EST, 10/20/2005
5 stars   Zappa's later career is most well known for his work, The Invention of Mothers in which he traces, in poetic form, the role of Satan in the fall of Eve and therefore in the beginning of sexual reproduction in humans. Zappa has a lot of followers in stavanger, a space-colony of Norway.

Essential !!!!!

DREAM THEATER Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Review by Malkishuah @ 11:54:01 AM EST, 4/17/2005

5 stars  —  This is indeed one of Dream Theaters greatest albums. I will reffer an anlysis later on maybe, but for now i would like to point out the amazing unconcidential connection between Dream's best albums.. Well at first notice the connection between the music in Images and Words and the Storyline and Music in Scenes From a Memory, later on the realation between the Metropolis from Awake and the beats and Music in Hone from Scenes... if you get in it for real it's truely amazing whats going on there. And last, notice the incredible corolation and similarity between the end of Scenes, and i quote:"nan nan ana 'wake up Nicholas'.. -'ahhhh' - chrshhshshshshshshshsshshshshsshhshshshshshsshsh...", and the begining of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, in Glass Prison, and I quote:"...shhhschshcshschschshschschchsshchhcsc dong... shdshhdshshhchschsch dong....." and so on. is it not incredibley funky? i mean shat.

Wow, those are hilarious. The two right above me are two of the funniest ones I've read thus far, from any website or magazine I've ever read.

Try this one:

 

EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Tarkus
Review (Permanent link) by Symphonic Age @ 2:24:19 PM EST, 9/30/2004

5 stars  —  Which is it the better Prog album? If the ELP had joined to the suite named "Tarkus" "Luky Man" (included in the first album) and some songs of Nice sure this! In fact the B side does not resist the weight of the first one and to make great songs and pure filled up to you he was not what of all (but you listen to the Led Zeppelin!). "Tarkus" (I mean the suite) is the best Progressive score of the history because it is dramatic, apocalyptic and it trasmits a sense of living the history that moves also after thousands listens. And this LP that had to be stopped here.

Or this one:

 

RENAISSANCE Live at Carnegie Hall
Review (Permanent link) by Symphonic Age @ 1:42:29 PM EST, 9/22/2004

5 stars  —  "Live At Carnagie Hall" provokes to innominates feelings every time to me that I listen. The voice of Annie Haslam is the best one that it has never felt in Progressive field and also the others members make their dear part (Jon Camp and John Tout on all). Part with "Prologue" and endured you of the voice of Annie, energetic soprano, hard and very emotional and you of do not make in time to calm the hot spirits who here "Ocean Gypsy" where Annie makes you to come the Heart-trob! "Can You Understand" is one glad song, nearly from circus in some moments, nevertheless serious and engaged. "Carpet Of The Sun" is the confirmation that only a group of advanced level can conceive a such one masterpiece. If "Running Hard" is a energetic interval, "Mother Russia" is the nth one masterpiece excuted alsi in perfect way. Second CD it is opened with "Sheherazade" that plays with sonority and Arrangiaments ago orient them (therefore "Mother Russia" with elements of Russian music) and still one voice outside from common one. And what to say "Ashes Are Burning"? I would be lying if you did not say that also this is one perfect song, worthy to close perfect live! What to still say... Annie Haslam could be my mother and when they conceived the songs I was not still born, but this is music that I listen more gladly. And these are the songs that to more move me. As I hope you will have intuit I have little magnify the merits of this band, but with a voice therefore it could (and also today it can!) to be the Symphonic Progressive band and of it I have nth confirmation here. And if you will listen this disc you will not be able that to confirmmy thesis.


Makes one wonder what is the best voice he has felt.
