...and not real helpful. Some may like records where an artist revisits their past. Edited by Atavachron - December 18 2006 at 08:06 |

Hey, Snowy! We reported the same review in the very same moment!

Agree 100%....
I think there shouldn't be any not-yet-released albums in the archives.... man, we can WAIT. We're not THAT desperate. We aren't "prog-heads" who need their fix with desperation. Please. Better to wait but to have a review of a released album than a few atrocious reviews by some guys that think they are illuminating us with their abilities to find music. (not ALL of them: the last review of POS Scarsick by a guest at least tells us how he got ahold of the album, props for that). Edited by The T - December 17 2006 at 22:22 |

Agree 99%.... But at least he tells us HOW HE GOT THE ALBUM in the first place, something the remaining 4 awful guest reviews (not the collaborator one) didn't. There should be a standard for first-time-reviews of a not-yet-released album.

I think that the real problem lies in the fact that albums which haven't been released yet are added to the band pages. My opinion is that albums should be added on the official release date. Currently, we have 7 albums in the archives which haven't been released yet, and in my opinion it doesn't look good at all. It implies that people on the site have found illegal, leaked copies of the albums and heard them before they have been released (regardless of whether or not such leaked copies actually exist, that's the way it looks). The fact that some of them have been added by the site's owner doesn't make the situation look any better. Edited by Philéas - December 17 2006 at 19:10 |

![]() Actually, the album was on my 'check this out' list, but I guess it's going to be removed, or gotten from the library instead of the stores... |

Couldn't agree more....
It damages the overall quality of the archives by doing this: an album is NOT out yet... some people manage to somehow listen to it (we don't know how "final" the product they heard is)... they rush to write 5 lines reviews just trying to be the first to review and surprise everyboy with their "discovery"... the FIRST REVIEWS you'll have for that album will be those afwul ones... even after the collaborators start reviewing it, the first reviews in the GUEST area would still be those.... the rating of the album will be affected because of those lousy reviews... and people who are not sure yet as if to buy an album or not, will have.... those reviews for guidance??!! I think the first review, at least of major releases, should be always a collaborator one or at least a recurrent guest... with not-so-big releases, of course we always need the opinionof those few who have listened to a record (I myself have the only review of two albums.... but those AREN'T Pain of Salvation, one of today's leading bands...)

This is true, though the band did indeed play things such as 'Bron-Y-Aur' on this extended '73 East Coast tour (I have many shows from this period, all excellent) but there is none on the *album* SRTS, nor any *live* version from the film. The studio recording of 'Bron-Y-Aur' (which was written and recorded in or around 1970) is played over scenes of Page and the boys on the move but never shown live. All confusing but important complexities of this band's career.

Also......
LED ZEPPELIN — The Song Remains The Same (Soundtrack) Review by Chris Stacey (Chris Stacey) Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator 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. More than what? There isn't any ro be more of!!! ![]() |

To be honest, the review just doesn't deliver. SRTS is one of the greatest official live documents in rock and this does not do it justice. Plus the mis-dating kinda ruins it. Edited by Atavachron - December 13 2006 at 06:13 |

These are my thoughts also. There is nothing wrong with the review as such, but facts should be checked first to so as to give an accurate account. I think that it says as much somewhere in review writing guidelines here as well. |

The problem seems to be the reviewers notion that the music on SRTS was from the PT tour, which is of course incorrect, but he gives that impression. Since some of the music that is on the first six albums was written, in its initial stages, around the 1970 period, it may cause some confusion but I think in this case, it's more a matter of misunderstanding the dates of SRTS, which was over several days of shows in NYC, 1973.

Yes, this could have been a much more comprehensive (and readable) write-up. But there is also a bit of poetry here and perhaps the writer could improve it with a little more text. |
