3%20stars Myself being a big genesis fan, i had read the reviews on this site many times before and this album had caught my eye time and again. After i purchased the album from my local record store i took it home and i was instantly blown away by the title track 'Close to the edge' this track is excellent, well worthy of the purchase price alone; however, when i listened to the next tracks they didnt live up to my expectations, now dont get me wrong they are good tracks, i just prefer my music to be more synthesisor based, all in all a good album, i would recommend anyone to check it out just for track number one, sorry if i have offended anyone.

Well spotted! These reviews are a couple of years old, so how come admin havn't spotted them before? These reviews also say nothing and were obviously posted to manipulate the prog archives chart.
 
I hope Easy Livin' does the right thing and deletes them!

I don't think a math review is exemplary for prog reviewing.

The member usually rates and doesn't review, he however has this and Rajaz by Camel, reviewed as seen.

I have had reviews deleted that were a lot more in-depth and objectve than these two reviews by Kibble Alex of 'Foxtrot' & 'TFTO'. I don't believe either review meets the review criteria as  * for TFTO implies that even YES fans shouldn't own it !

COMUS — First Utterance
Review by Hercules (Anthony King)

I think I'm going to be sick. I read some glowing reviews and, despite thinking the sample on the site was pretty awful (the male singer sounds like Roger Chapman with his testicles removed), I spent some time hunting a vinyl of this album down at great cost. Two listens and back it went at a huge loss. I occasionally keep albums I don't like for interest reasons, but this creepy sick rubbish ain't polluting my collection. Some of the music is interesting enough (sounds a bit like Spyrogyra, which isn't exactly a positive recommendation either) and quite well played, but the vocals and lyrics utterly repel me. Drip Drip is particularly disgusting. The cover says it all, really. This band disappeared without trace and they deserved to. I suppose it's to some extent a question of taste, but to me this is the stuff of nightmares!



I think this review has some problems making a difference between dislike and disgust, obviously preferring the second.
The highlighted in red lines are out of line, if you ask me.

Not to mention the fact that his mastery of the English language allows him to spin a review both deep and captivating in its creative and unique manipulation of words.
