In the review of YES album he doesn't say (almost) anything about the music. If this is what he thinks of YES, I can't imagine what he can write if he listens to Kayo Dot...

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Those reviews are absolute nonsense. I wouldn't mind seeing them removed. |

Those are a year old, I remember reading them before when they were reported. I guess they are okay...

I only got to look over two of them, the PFM one was OK but the Gensis one was deletable. Will check this further, later.

Wtf?
Granted, I I haven't writtten a tonne of reviews myself, but that's not actually a review of anything except (possibly) the album cover. Bizzare. Edited by dreadpirateroberts - October 11 2011 at 21:42 |

All of his reviews are terrible and filled with broken English. Too bad they prolly can't do anything about it.

Almost kinda looks like a forum topic where you report reviews that are against the guidelines.

Oh..I see I broke some rules? Sorry it was such a good review, perhaps needs to be in the reviews discussions thread not here then

How many times do we have to individually link to that guy's reviews...
You never linked the review at all, unless you got ghost edit pwned. Edited by Henry Plainview - October 12 2011 at 08:33 |

Yep, they're both wretched and stray precariously close to ad hominem criticism, but don't break any guidelines (but what lollies is Dean sucking on?)

I was just sayin' that for someone who rags on about island based bands he seemed very insular, which I found amusing.
Anyway, were those Lolly's? She should have said. Edited by Dean - October 12 2011 at 17:18 |

This is an old one that seemed to have slipped through the cracks:
As well as being incomplete, cutting off in mid-sentence, it's written by a member of the band in question. I don't see anything in the review guidelines about people not being allowed to review their own albums, but it seems rather dubious to me. No matter how open and upfront the person in question is about who they are, the fact is that submitting a review of your own work is going to effect the score - particularly albums with very few ratings like this one - and I think it would be really damaging to the integrity of the archives if we let this sort of thing slide. (Plus on top of all that, the chap seems more interested in telling his life story than writing a review...)
