Reviews discussion

I started to participate in progarchives as an official prog reviewer 2 years before you did, so I can't see how you know me so much to profer such serious attacks. I had my own reasons for not posting or making reviews for such a long time, and I don't need to give you those explanations. I will give them immediately to the site administrators, if they request. If I want to post reviews, I post them, could it be 1, 2 or 5 stars! No problem at all! I have no need in creating a paralel character. I see no purpose on that. And in some pshycospace album reviews, by the way, I have them reviewed to, and you'll see that, at least in one, I have a totally opposite opinion.   In fact, I respected you and still want to respect you. Your reviews, in my view, are very correct, the other day I was glad to see, for instance, that you were the only reviewer to state that Flower King's new album was regressive.   Hope this is no more than a misunderstanding. Cheers.

 Sorry, didn't mean to accuse you of anything, just "friendly" humour (that people have complained about since I joined in February ). I guess the fact that we do not interact in the forums much explains why you are not very familiar with my usual tongue-in-cheek-with-own-self style.  I apologise that you I didn't add a "kidding" tag somewhere in that post.

Last chance Psycho, reveal yourself and defend your reviews or they will be deleted.

Okay, I admit it, it is me!

 

He sure caused a lot of reaction.

Toccata, once the improvements to the site have been completed, registration will be mandatory for submitting reviews. At the moment, reviews can still be submitted without being registered. Those which are submitted by unregistered memebrs do not show a forum name in the reviewer name, the name appearing in black.

That's not to say that Arena couldn't write a good song but all the band is a joke. John Mitchell playing heavy riffs with the dated angelic choir keyboard on every song when the riff´s kick in. A good singer like Rod Sowden that sistematicaly insists on singing with that Shakespearean theatric ridiculous tone,etc,etc. This is just to bad to be real, and the only reason for this being so bad is that Arena wanted to write a satirical caricature of a neo progressive rock album and yes! they accomplished it very well.

Overall after four years this album sounds extremely out of date and quite unlistenable.
