I really like your review !!

I would like to thank BrufordFreak for his review of the new Tirill release.  Well written, and perfectly describes the music that I sought out because of the review.  

Thanks for the review on These Trails Greg
It’s an old fave of mine but I haven’t spun it in years. So nice to have someone pat you on the back ‘hey there - remember this??’

Ahh nuts this probably means that I need to give serious thought into actually doing a review over the phone

Thanks David and Steve; much appreciated. Glad it got you to think about that album again. It was a quickly-written review (I spend much more time writing many posts). I was just checking something regarding the bio (that took me much longer to write) and remembered that I had said that I planned to review it soon after the addition. I generally prefer dialectic to review writing, but writing reviews has sometimes been an enjoyable experience. I wrote some for a show called The Prisoner a few years before joining this site, which were a lot of work, but ended up being quite fun as I enjoyed peppering in some silly, and none-too subtle sexual innuendo. Maybe I should try a TOOL album next.

EDIT: What was a pain with the review, while it took me little time to write, I spent ages battling Captcha to get it up, then needed to make a correction, and spent far too long doing that as Captcha blocked me again and again.   I spent way longer dealing with Captcha than writing the review. I had decided at one time just to delete it, but Captcha wouldn't allow me to do that either, because it was late and I was so exasperated. Eventually I got my edit in (I should write reviews off site then copy/paste them) I could have tried a different device, but I tried all sorts of different browsers, deleting the cache....

I got a kick out of reading stevoz review of 90125 (which I will forever confuse with the TV show 90210!) as saying he is sick of "armchair critics" dissing the album and not realizing that by posting his review he has become one!

Really liked James Baldwins Faust review and agree it fully!!

I'm going to give ELO 2 a listen based on T Cat's impassioned review. Sounds like some good prog before the band turned into a pop machine.

Good to see all the reviews from Ken Levine, ViennaProghead  and Warthur on Jade Warrior, Hackett, and BOC. Tbh, I can't read all of them because of my vision problems, but I know that they are of the highest quality and that their ratings, if different than mine, are always well explained.

In my time at PA, I have seen some very complete reviews. I have seen reviews of, singles, non-prog albums, and of course the odd 1-star review.
