If not, then delete all ratings until it's released.
 
This pisses me off. I don't care if it's exactly the same as the one that will come out, but if it's not been formally released and people start reviewing it, I think the album should be taken off PA.
I agree fully.
 
I do as well.

it reminds me a lot of Tremulant EP. I don't see anything that HOOKS me as much as anything on the first two albums but then that might be good, I found they both suffer from overplaying.
guy's really evolving as a guitar player, we can't just call him Fripptana anymore.

Delete all the reviews now, this album is not out yet. This should also be the common procedure with all future releases. As it is, Prog Archives does accept illegal downloading, whatever fancy words you admins write here on the forums.


I'm in Canada, it's not illegal here.

Link "It's" is the contraction for "it is."
 
Some people thought I was just being an elistist grammar snob jerk, but they were wrong; there actually are people who just don't know. Grammar really should be a seperate class in more schools.
 
right right, i think i use it correctly now that i think of it
 
but i do agree with you, grammar should be a separate class

So it is officially released on 22 August, can't wait, is that a global release or just a US/Europe release?

Oh yeah, and "separate" contains two "a", as well.
LOL

No, stonebeard, it's not released until August 22. I agree; there is no reason for this album to be on PA until it is released. king volta's is the only good review, and I'm sure that he has it saved somewhere else.

I'm not ready to write a review yet.  I've had this album for several days now and have given it several listens.  This one is going to divide the hardcore fans big time.  It's such a grand prog album.  One of the best in a while.  These guys are the new wave of YES/Criomson.

The album is an incredible triumph. There are tracks in it such as "Day of the Baphomets" that are, in my opinion, some of the best prog music ever recorded.
The compositions are so complex and the orchestration is so dense...
I think it's their best album and establishes them as the most creative and advanced band currently active.
With this album they joined my personal pantheon of prog which includes Yes, Genesis, VDGG and Banco.
I can't wait to see them perform this live...Clap

yeah, but some effort and thought needs to be put into it.   a review could simply say "this album sucks" and be no more helpful than a rating without a review.

Ratings without review should not be accepted at all. As to the number of words - 50 words review sometimes can be more informative than 500, so it should not be taken into consideration.

Well the album has been leaked for about a week. So it is quite possible that someone has listened to it and is ready to review it.

Here's my review. I don't want to put it on the site because I've only heard it once and probably did a bad job describing it, but here it is:
