aginor's explanation is plausible but it's still a mean spirited and personal review, and anyone posting anywhere should know the difference. Plus he could have said almost the same thing without insulting (and BTW personal opinion can be just as important as objectivity in reviews)

It goes directly against reviews rule #4.

It actually made me laugh when i read that especially since he gives it 3 stars.Apparently it's because i don't review in an objective manner(which i don't) that has him pissed off.My personal taste has everything to do with how i rate albums.Anyway i'm cool with his review staying as it is.

I also review in a subjective manner, which is how I interpreted reviewing was supposed to be.

I think he just needed to rant for some reason and today i was the target.It was a surprise to read though.Can you imagine if there was no policy against that how many people would be attacking others just because they didn't agree with you.
 The site would turn into a Jerry Springer-like platform for a lot of people. |

I'm late... I was reporting the same review. It's against almost all the rules and doesn't say anything about the music or the album.

Yes I agree, only a retarded moron will waste his time listening all the Opeth albums of a band he hates them so much. He seems to have particular hate for:
But still heard all their albums enough to rate them I don' l like Opeth, so one album was enough for me, the same with Jon Anderson, strangely he rated all Anderson albums with 1 star except Olias. Honestly, I don't buy this. Iván BTW; It's pretty strange that seven out the 8 last albums he rated are from Opeth and all with 1 star, or he has a prodigious memory or he's a masochist that spent a couple of weeks listening exclusively the band he hates more

I sometimes PM a one or two star rating only of my music to hear why the person disliked it. I was going to do that with this person, but damn, why join the site if you clearly hate music?

I´m sorry your record happened to be among those unfortunate ones Robert, but you gotta laugh at this guy! The few reviews he has under his belt really doesn´t inspire you to think he´s all that crazy about music in general... I´ll repeat your query: Why even join PA then?

Apparently the guy likes some Post Barrett Pink Floyd albums and hates most of the other 200 albums he has rated. My opinion is that the guy is beaten by his wife at home and he's only free when he expresses his hate publicly. He hates Yes, Genesis, Epignosis, PFM, most Supetramp, among many others, but incredibly he rates Thinck as a Brick with 5 stars but Aqualung with one...This makes no sense, because both share many similarities, I understand somebody who loves TaaB and hates Stand Up because it's Blues, but his ratings make no sense. The guy is a music hater Iván

He should be removed from the site and his ratings wiped out. I know his ratings don't make a great deal of difference overall to the average rating of the works, but it's a matter of principle.

Although I like both a lot, I don't think they are very similar. |

Mellotron Storm, are you serious? You know coming to think of it, I can't be arsed to make a sensible
well thought out comment to your moronic drivel. You have to understand that personal taste should
not enter in to an objective review, understand? Didn't think so. This album is of its time, and is
actually very good. There you are, how more comprehensive a review do you want? It gets 3 stars
rather than 4 or 5, because it is not prog rock! Um well it isn't see. No more than Kanye West is prog
rock, but he is very very good, just not prog rock.
