^ Might be appreciated if we drop the 'reviewer' a PM or an e-mail, to thank him/her for the notification and invite them to the forum.

Yep, the main issue is that those reviewers appearing still in black are from a time where the e-mail registration wasn't required... if he had visited us at least in the past 12 months he had the opportunity to update his account and his name would appear in blue.

Wow, this afternoon I was only the second person to rate it and first to review it. It now has 7 ratings and 3 reviews. Never realized my reviews could make an album popular... LOL
 
Serioulsy, though, it appears to be Egyptian Kings all over again...
 
And I'm not ashamed of giving José Cid 4 stars either. Tongue
 
EDIT: I stand corrected, we nowhave 8 ratings and 4 reviews. Sort of.

Texts erased and ratings left... it's a shame that the forum rules had been disregarded that manner.
 
If those guys want to do a real "review", respecting other people's opinion I'll leave room for them (not before a warning, indeed).

No one is forbidden to submit reviews whenever the rules are respected. If those guys wish to submit new texts I see no problems.
 
Ninguém está proibido de fazer resenhas, André, desde que as regras estabelecidas sejam respeitadas. Se os resenhadores quiserem refazer seus textos considerando essa premissa, não vejo problemas.

I just went on a mass reviewing spree- i've totally littered the main page . I really don't see the point of copying reviews, if people are trying to get their numbers up so their invited to become reviewers then they really are going about it the wrong way.

That's correct... reviews are there to let one expresses his/her opinion about the album not to comment about other people's opinion.
 
There's a specific forum to discuss, in a civil manner, reviews' contents:
 
If the discussion goes to the reviews these will be edited/deleted once discovered.

As useful as that could be, you know that would just cause headaches with the admins having to remove the "less constructive" comments.

TRANSATLANTIC — Bridge Across Forever
Review by Ely78 (Elizabeth)

4%20stars Finally I'm returned in PA, without my mother that after a resonant one quarreled with Mandrakeroot decided to let go PA. So I'm free and my opinion is finally totally free. So this Transatlantic Bridge Across Forever in my opinion is a great album but with the influence of my mother... But this isn't the place for comments like this.

Speaking of Transatlantic... ransatlantic is a great supergroup in the vein of ELP like idea, but not like music. Because in this case the music is too much little anchored to Classic Music. Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) is the new God of drums, Pete Trewavas is a bass player of Marillion and in this case is only the Transatlantic's bass player, Neal Morse is the keyboards of Spock's Beard and Roine Stolt is from The Flower Kings. In every case these 4 musicians are from the bands that for generalistic audience are the Prog today.

The Best Song is the long suite Stranger In Your Soul because very Marillion, very Dream Theater, very Spock's Beard and very The Flower Kings. In one word: extreme Transatlantic. In my opinion Stranger In Your Soul is the only Symphonic song of ridge Across Forever. Also Duel With The Devil present the same ingredients with the addition of sax and cello. But since isn't Symphonic I think that Duel With The Devil is inferior to Stranger In Your Soul.

The worst song is in my opinion Suite Charlotte Pike that doesen't leave the mark. Ok, it is an attractive suite. But to me proper doesn't please.

In Conclusion: great album from a great supergroup. Sure is from 2001. But if Bridge Across Forever was been published in 1972 it could have changed the Prog story.




Well I can understand the nature of the message (unfortunately, I can't understand what Ely specifically means through the message), but it's quite personal for a review.

Look at Almuadem's Nimrodel's album page. Apart from a three star review of Kotro (whom I don't suspect of anything) we've got there:


- member  zeus1 (Joined date: 12/23/2007 | Posts: 0| Last visit: 12/23/2007 5:36:26 PM EST) - 5%20stars, only rating (and that's his only rating)

- member robert_bing (Joined date: 12/23/2007 | Posts: 0| Last visit: 12/23/2007 5:10:31 PM EST) - 5%20stars, review (his only one)

- member Mozarttaler (Joined date: 12/25/2007 | Posts: 0| Last visit: 12/26/2007 5:42:18 PM EST) - 5%20stars, review (apart from this one he also posted ratings without reviews for three major albums  - looks like a smoke-screen to me - all four within ten minutes)

- member tellius_pontius (Joined date: 12/26/2007 | Posts: 0| Last visit: 12/26/2007 10:14:29 AM EST) - 5%20stars, review (his only one)



This way the album in question has got now a 4.71 rating and became The Most Popular Album in the last 7 days (featured on the front page). Doesn't it look suspicious? Ermm

The last review of the Genesis album Duke , I think its done by a guy called razifa is a bit odd, he writes a favourable sounding review and then gives it 2 stars but there seems to me to be  little or no justification for it.
