THIS will be awesome! Clap

I'm not much of a Porcupine Tree fan, but I absolutely love Portnoy's drumming and Akerfeldt's vocals (and compositions and guitar...). Really looking forward to this! Thumbs Up

So you find your opinion to be invalidated because lots of other people also have opinions? That's the opposite impression of what you gave with your above comments.

It's not about taking the ratings down from a 4.0 to a 2.0. No one has that kind of power--even collabs are only slightly more weighted. Really, the important part is the review. Show which albums you support, which you don't care for. Don't use a perceived lack of effectiveness as a reason not to even try.

Layout of the site. 90% collabs on the left side, 10% users on the other side.

Opposite of Jeff, love Porcupine Tree and haven't heard much of Portnoy of Akerfeldt but I still think this will be awesome!

That lineup is INSANELY AWTHOM!

Well, yes, there is that. And I'm not a big fan, either. It gets really long on the left on a few. But all the reviews from everyone exist still, despite some being bumped off by newer ones.

How about this: quit claiming victim status, write a bunch of well-thought-out, quality reviews and you can attain collab status. Heck, I become a prog reviewer while still sounding something like a moron.

Generally, you must review at least 30 albums/live material etc. This is only a base, and obviously you should review more. The more accomplished and varied your reviews are, the more likely you will get an invite.

I reviewed about 100-150 things and then thought, "Huh, I want to edit some of these. Let's see if I can manage to advance!" And it just kinda went through. Some people really have to grovel for it, though. Or you can pay an existing prog reviewer to put a good word in for you. Wink

Looking at your review, it's a fantastic one. If you have plenty of spare time to put in to reviewing albums, you would make a splendid addition to the collaborator ranks.

^ Thank you. I'll try to find time... it's hard during final exam week, but it definitely sounds like something I'd like to do often.

I think I must be the only guy on PA who is a big fan of PT, DT, and Opeth, so I eagerly await this release. My choice for lineup?

Akerfeldt: Lead vocals (on some tracks) and lead guitar

Wilson: Lead vocals ( on some tracks) , rhythm guitar and keyboards

Portnoy: Drums and backing vocals

Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I like all three, thought I don't really love any of them at the moment. My choice:

Akerfeldt: drum programming and artwork
Wilson: synthesizers, programming
Portnoy: autotuned vocals

Yep. I hope they form a progressive techno outfit.

This project has been on the shelf for at least 5 years now. I almost forgot about it. I can't wait to hear the finished results.
