The review really is just utter gibberish, even allowing for possible language difficulties??!! (as many have said before there it does seem that a few people use this nom de plume and the level of absurdity varying accordingly).....

Alain himself confirmed that he uses machine translation. https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133946

I'm just making the most of what I have available, I'm no robot... that stuff makes me kinda laugh, I am the only one who shares my chronicles, you can also find the original ones on sites like Profil prog and Prog censor. Good day to all those who follow me!"

Review is in Spanish. Google Translate still leaves it with some sentences that don't make sense.

I google translated and did some editing. Other than adding a "t" too "Foxtro" and a note at the end on it being translated and only submitting reviews in English, the only thing I changed was what came out for lyrics. I changed "there's a fat woman outside the room" to "There's a fat old lady outside the saloon."
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

^ After looking at the last 50 reviews. I see there are three by him all in a row, so off some other platform I would guess rather than written for PA, except that minimal effort went into the reviews so maybe all written for here after all.   I could just delete but this once I will translate all three. Any more will be deleted that are not presented in English. I PMed the user who I saw in the forum.

New member - criticises other reviewers comments. Doesn't actually say anything really about the music?!

Plus who is Gary Cherone?!?

Yeah, I'll remove that and preserve it here for posteriorauraity. I hate completely expunging such things.

The reviews here are so apologetic. Everyone trying to excuse the band for sounding so much like a preliminary demo tape for In Absentia and Deadwing.

Some of the comments are hilarious: "Quite frankly this is where Porcupine Tree should have been on their last and less than impressive album Fear of a Blank Planet". Another one: "Expect some great guitar solos in a few places which are far more virtuostic than PT ones". Who wrote that? The band mom? "Vocals that are very similar to Steven Wilson". Yeah, as similar as Gary Cherone is to David Lee Roth.

There is inspiration and there is imitation. It is clear where this band stands.

2 stars


By the way, Gary Cherone was lead singer of Van Halen. He followed Sammy Hagar who had followed David Lee Roth as lead singer. I had to look it up.

I edited the review and it was removed again. What was the reason?

Oh, I had not realised. I saw it and thought it looked so similar that my delete just had not taken as sometimes happens (sometimes functions time out). Apologies. I hope you saved it.

^ It did have a rating from you, maybe you accidentally rated it without reviewing. I have deleted your rating. Please try again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
