The spam-master strikes again...

GENESIS - Archive - Volume 2: 1976-1992
Review by Armando Riveira @ 5:39:20 PM EST, 2/14/2005
—   BILL BRUFORD was a incredible plus for genesis in 1976 .Apparently he was using the same drum kit from the 1974 king-crimson tour . Musicians like Tony and BILL are very rare. Just listen to the mechnical aspects of the music and ask yourself if BILL BRUFORD should have stayed much longer ..............the answer is YES. We want more music.

It's about time he started reviewing some Bruford albums. Many more to come, I'm sure...

BILL BRUFORD'S EARTHWORKS - Random Acts of Happiness
Review by Dale Corona @ 3:29:28 PM EST, 2/16/2005
5 stars  —   ATTENTION- I HAVE 3 HEROS,,,EVEL KNIEVEL, TONY BANKS AND BILL BRUFORD .THIS ALBUM IS GREAT BUT WHATS MORE IMPORTANT, IS I THINK THAT BILL SHOULD BE WORKING IN OTHER QUARTERS WITH TONY BANKS DRUMMING WITHIN A ORCHESTRAL- PROJECT OR EVEN PLAYING WITH GENESIS AGAIN IF AND WHEN THEY MAKE A COMEBACK.......THINK ABOUT IT IN A SUPERTECHNICAL CONTEXT. IT CAN BE A PLUS.

Shouldn't we ignore this, If it's attention he's after, why give him that satisfaction?

maybe just a pm to the site moderators (Maani, Max) that the evil one has struck again and leave it at that. Some day he will get bored with it.

Quote YES - Drama
Review by Jan Bril @ 11:35:27 PM EST, 2005-02-22

—   This Album is Crap! For each and everyone who ever loved the music of YES (and especially The Yes Album - Fragile - Close to the Edge - Tales - Relayer - Going for the One) this is not worth to listen to. I bought the album in 1980 without even listening to it in the record shop, and boy oh boy was I disappointed after putting it on my turntable! Actually after only 2 tries I dismissed it and never listened to it again. I also have to say that the albums following this crap (Big Generator, 90something) are to my humble opinion CRAP as well. Recently I bought the DVD Symphonic Live and that shows how good YES was, is and can be. Just forget this desastrous period.

This review is crap!

No it's not.

Every time someone writes negatively about an album, doesn't make the review bad, maybe the album is bad, and the reviewer wants to warn others about the quality of the album.

Personally I have to agree, after Tormato Yes only occasionaly released some good material, Drama, is as the title suggests a dramaticly poor album. with the exception of one or maybe even two songs that are worth listening to (listening, not paying for it, it would be criminal to sell this kind of crap).

I have to agree with the next reviewer:
Quote YES - Drama
Review by Prosciutto @ 1:23:27 AM EST, 2005-02-23

—   First of all, I have to say that it's amazing how some people give 5 stars and call masterpiece or, on the other hand, give 0 stars and call crap to some records. I think some people should be a little more objective with the albums that they choose to review, it doesn't matter either their hate certain record or it's their favourite, they should highlight its strong points and weak points... For example, the previous review by Jan Bril, who called the Drama album crap (twice). Boy, he never told us the reasons why he thinks this album is "crap". I wonder why he thinks that... because there is no mellotron on it?? no side-long epic? no Anderson?? No Wakeman??? Come on man... give me a break..........

Half of his review is off topic, but that's the kind of problem you get when you don't weed out senseless reviews.

I personally think many fans of prog would appreciate Drama, even without Anderson and Wakeman.

The following review is great EXCEPT it's for the movie "The Wall" and has nothing at all to do with the actual record. So IMHO probably does not offer much useful advice

PINK FLOYD - The Wall
Review by The Miracle @ 9:47:50 PM EST, 2005-03-04
- The album is pretty good, but the worst one from Pink Floyd with Waters (IMHO). What is truly bad, is the movie. Pink Floyd is my second favorite band after Led Zeppelin. I got into rock music because of them. still, with all my love for PF, this is the worst movie I have seen in my life. Waters was either smoking crack, or he wanted to make some extra money, I dont know. How could this calm psychedelic band that created Meddle, Wish You Were Here and other masterpieces, make such a brutal, nasty and disturbing movie? If it was slipknot or mudwayne, I would not be surprised, but why PF?This was a huge disappointment and I got rid of it the next day. If you want a great PF video, buy Live at Pompeii, don't buy this crap!


Marmalade...I like marmalade.

NIGHTWISH Angels Fall First progressive rock album and reviews NIGHTWISH - Angels Fall First
Review by OSAMA @ 3:14:00 PM EST, 2005-03-08

0 stars  —   This isn't prog. I repeat This isn't prog. It's just about time that some tidwid adds STRATOVARIUS or [%*!#]in' HELLOWEEN here! Yes! I think that TOTO is the greatest prog band!1 No no, BRITNEY SPEARS must be the one!! Yeah!! I love prog, I listen to COLDPLAY and BACK STREET BOYS! LOL! This site starts to stink. Uriah Heep? Rhapsody? Helloween? Get a grip. Even neo-prog bands get closer to creative, anti-commercial, a little (or very) complex fusion music style called progressive rock than these!

Another, because it just spends its time attacking Mr. Chantraine...

HIGH WHEEL - Back From The Void
Review by Frederic Cermelj @ 5:23:51 PM EST, 2005-03-08

—   This album is simply the Nr#1 of Prog-resiste 30 (the best Prog fanzine written in french) for the year 2002. By the way Mr. Chantraine do you actually love progresive music? I doubt about it. Therefore DO NOT visit 'The IQ Museum' because it is dedicated to prog fans only ;-) You'd better listen to pop music. -

This was to be expected. I never thought they should've been in the first place. Most proghead are much too exclusive and elitist. This is a part of the reason why Prog gets a bad rep: its fans's superiority complex.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Please, is this a review or an urban legend? Even  IF the story was true (What I doubt because Frágil started their career doing Yes and Genesis covers), this is anything except a review, I believe should be deleted.

 

Quote FRAGIL Frágil
Review by mario @ 9:39:56 PM EST, 2004-04-26

5 stars  —  I would like to tell you freind tha the name of frgil doesn`t come from the Yes album called Fragil,The singer told me the real history:It starts in their garage where they usually had their rehearsals .Once the guitarist`s grandma got into the gararge and starts screeming for the noise and Andres(lider and singer)just said: take it easy grandma,everything here is so fragil couse of the frames and speakers wich where hanged up on the walls ,,,,,that`s how the name came...............
 
Even though it's old, only noticed yesterday when reviewing this excellent album.

There is a whole group of RADIOHEAD reviews just posted today, (4 or more) that are all inappropriate 'they suck and aren't prog' type stuff. All are given 0 stars...

0 stars  —   Radiohead suck! Everyone knows it! Even lions, tigers and bears can do better music. They think they can create good alternative rock. Well, they can can't. And they have no reason for their existence! Now tell me, if Radiohead are prog then why doesn't All Music Guide list them that way. They have no essence of it whatsoever. I think Radiohead should be removed from this site.
