Reviews discussion - Progressive Rock Music Forum

This has probably been brought up before but I think that a review with less than 100 words can still provide a decent review or summary.

yep.

Too funny to be reported.

The ''traditional Ayreon tradition,'' huh? Interesting. It's even more interesting how apparently anybody who disagrees with this guy is a lowlife cretin.

that's true torodd. A language barrier is one thing, but whininess and fanboydom is another

Btw. I am hopefully not mean to Arcane. Me too have a lot of language dysfunctional phrases in my reviews. As a sinner, I am not going to throw stones as Arcane..... (a Biblical reference). I just wish him all the best and good luck.

Listen to the music and enjoy life. Clap

^ No argument here :-)

I have my own demons (when reviewing) too.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

^ Yes, it's our good old arcane. Possibly beautiful.

This guy has a lot of energy and will to carry on, doing these things. But is he able to remedy these bad traits ?

The Way by Anima Mundi has been brought back to earth by a 3 star review by Snobb. .Would not mind but his review is horrific. How many times did he hear the album. I would say not even in its entirety..........1) He calls it their debut album so he must have ignored their page contents2) He gripes that it is not good enough " Cuban" music and then states his preference for Buena Vista social club3) His review really says nothing about the content of the album not a credit to the siteI doubt the band set out to make "Cuban" music

I sent him a PM correcting him about it not being their debut. You know these little mistakes can be handled yourself by sending a PM to the reviewer.
I think the rest of your assertions are not true. I think you drew the wrong conclusion from the review. He says they play neo-prog, Slava doesn't like neo-prog and says he would have preferred hearing more trad Cuban music, nothing wrong with that. It is a short review, but he didn't break any rules.
