There is not much more to add than already mentioned on the DVD/Video release. This is an incredibly good live album. It would have perhaps been even better had it shown more of the Physical Graffiti material but nevertheless there are some splendid renditions of the originals. Highlights would have to be the 26 minute ' Dazed and Confused', a 14 minute rendition of ' Whole lotta Love', ' No Quarter' and one my persoanl favourites ' Celebration Day' off Led Zeppelin III. A solid four stars.

How can It have Physical Graffiti material Chris? This concert was before that album.


    
 
well several songs from Physical graffiti were written before the concert, so it isn't an impossibility. Tongue


True Tux, but absolutely unlikely!Wink
 
The movie has Bron-Yr-AurBig smile


Because the movie and album were released after PG, but the concert was before, in fact its part of the Houses Of The Holy Tour.

The site policy is to allow albums to be added once the official details have been announced. They are then open for review by whoever wishes to do so. We don't want to try to second guess how the reviewer acquired the album, we have to assume it was through legitimate means.
 
If however, it is apparent from the review that it is based on an illegally obtained copy, the review will be removed.

I don't know about this, but how come there are reviews of an album that isn't out yet? I know maybe you can listen to it in a website or something, but the thing is, we have a lot of very short reviews of POS Scarsick coming from guests who I think are just trying to be the "first" to review an album even before it is available to most of us. Besides, shouldn't reviews be made only from actually released records so that sound quality, and every last minute addition by the band or the label or whatver change it may happen will be heard? Today we have three consecutive reviews of that album, all of them short, don't say anything with a real meaning, just trying to "show off" how quick they were to listen to POS' new. I have yet to read a review by a collaborator, then I would trust. But in the case of an album not-yet-released, with no collaborator-reviews available, I just don't trust those short, weak-content reviews.

(I had this post on the "report abuse" thread but someone pointed me in this direction)

I think it's just a bad review, if what you posted is the whole thing, then he said nothing about the instrumentality or songs. He simply said buy this, "it r awesome" The only postive trait is that he said "if you like __, then you'll like these guys", but that's what we're arguing about now. Personally I think that's the most credible part of his review.

Good thing to see it moved it here - since there is no "100% abuse" involved (the guy could have posted it from a good wish, who knows), but what does everyone think, is this appropriate?

I dont think that the reviewer has broken any guidleines though(?)
    
 
LOL
 
He surely hasn't broken any guidelines, but where's the common sense in writing such a review?

Mayhem's members didn't burn any churches if I recall and the "necklaces of skull" is just a clever way of attracting more attention towards a band with a "screwed up" image.
 
The point is that this has NOTHING to do with In The Woods..., and that shouldn't be emphasized to the point of making the five stars rating useless (I doubt if ANYONE who visits PA thinks "oh, they sound like a band who killed themselves and ate each other, that sounds like an essential masterpiece!"). Criticism is a good thing, as it allows the reader to think twice before buying something - is it his thing or not - however, misleading, immature reviewing style such as this is completely unnecessary.

I was reading something else when Stonie replied... And as I stated in my previous post, 2 years is not an excuse.  A bad review is a bad review... wait what am I saying, they are not even reviews !!!

Well, in my book, that's no excuse.  Having written such crap to end up a collab, I can't believe it.  And to think I have submitted my reviews and a band bio for acceptance as AT LEAST a prog reviewer and nobody even cared enough to reply to me about those reviews...
 
Well, if I got someone's attention, here are my submitted reviews :
