Sorry, here's the link.

(As a first one, I was not original, but I'd like to know if this a good review or not).

(And if mistakes occur, I apologize since I speak French)

Thanks :)


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

"We should review reviews."

Good idea. I know I only wrote ONE review, but I'd like to see if you consider it to be OK.

And of course there's still the question : will someone read my review ? I really think that if such a system would exist, I would write more.

Wow, not only is he a militarist imbecile but he's also decided to insult distinct nationalities and Supertramp. Awful.

It's not an album review, but I love George Starostin's assessment of Bruce Springsteen (http://starling.rinet.ru/music/bruce.htm).  Hits the nail on the head.  Of course, that isn't prog, but the thread didn't specify.

In all honesty, I think the best reviewer on this site would have to be Rob (TGM: Orb).  He puts a lot of thought and effort in each of his reviews, even on live albums, and does a good job of balancing subjectivity and objectivity.  I don't think I've ever read a bad review by him.  He almost discourages me to write reviews because I'll never be good as him, not to mention that our tastes are nearly identical.

funny, this reviewer was recently reported as having a 'silly' review, I'm sure he'll appreciate your comment



I have hax suspicions. He's putting out a lot of bad reviews lately and all at the same time he made a "Prog Sucks" thread which I took as a joke, but maybe hax.

That is a great review and sums up my feelings about the album almost entirely, although I like Ogre Battle better than he does and I enjoy Queen's later work quite a bit. But Queen II is undoubtedly a high water mark.
