And, while you're at it, this one by the same guy seems kinda inappropriate, too.


Have to agree with you full on.

Those reviews are as lame as it gets. At least listen to the music so you can review it honestly and with integrity. How can anyone even take those reviews seriously, or trust a judgement of one who really has no idea, they just hate Dream Theater... The Can review is 5 star but does not even say why it merits such a high rating. Thank the heavens for decent reviewers here such as 
  1. Mellotron Storm (3577)
  2. Sean Trane (3116)
  3. ZowieZiggy (2917)
  4. Warthur (1945)
  5. Easy Livin (1925)
  6. UMUR (1742)
  7. Gatot (1720)
  8. psarros (1654)
  9. b_olariu (1646)
  10. Conor Fynes (1442)
  11. Bonnek (1360)
  12. Evolver (1335)
  13. SouthSideoftheSky (1301)
  14. snobb (1210)

It's not a review, just an accusation of hype. I consider the comments insulting to my intelligence and completely lacking in constructiveness.

Says the band in question's fanboy who gave the album in question the maximum rating (only)! Tongue

Yes, I'm a fan. Problem with that? Does it negate my point? Do you consider it a review?

i want to report this review http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=1036697, he seems to invent names and/or missspell them, i don't know if he is serious or just a goofy reviewer with humour, but i like reviews to be more serious and if the naming is on purpose then i am probably not in this reviewers aim of readers.
 
Im not debating the amount of stars but hes style is wierd
 
he seems to do the same on a Yes review http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=952118

I like his reviews - they're not great wit, but they are most knowing and they make me smile.

"Fugazi was Marillions second album, coming hot on the heels of Misplaced Childhood ( for those of you travelling backwards in time ) "


C'mon - that's a funny line and 100% accurate.

I LOVE thewickedfall's reviews.  I actually have them bookmarked for whenever I need a good laugh.

Is it appropriate that reviewer Sean Trane used the exact same review for two albums?

Absolutely not - they are different albums with different performers. Ian Gillan and Murry Head do not appear on the 1973 album.

I just wanted to mention that my CD from 2012 "Imposing Elements" was sitting all year at #9 ( b/o 2012 ) and recently has moved to about #26 however I have received no reviews, my score of 4.01 has not changed.  I don't mind, just being in the top 100 is a complete honour, but just curous how 'suddenly' it dropped so much?
