People in the VRoom use English-Russian translators a lot in conversations with me and Ansen (and sometimes even the two of us aren't required). Big%20smile

RUSH — 2112
Review by progismylife (Self-Proclaimd Rush Fanatic)

1%20stars ¡Muy horrible!

Я решил прослушать этот альбом, поскольку она является так называемая шедевром. Излишне сказать, что я был очень разочарован, так разочарована, что я никогда никогда никогда никогда слушать Раша снова! Я ненавижу его! Кто сказал Гедди, что он может петь или играть динамиком? КТО? Было вероятно, что один парень из американских идолу, который Уильям Хунг сказал, что он не может петь! Бах! Ее отвратительно то, что они даже подумать написания "эпический", но то, что всю первую сторону Виниловый приходится на это жестокие! И не поймите меня начались другие песни! Они даже отдаленно не программа а это винил заслуживает того, чтобы быть сожжены! В каждом любыми возможными способами! Мне не нравится один бит, и не его masterliness crapliness !!!!!!!!!

Und wie weiß ich dieses? Ich verbrachte Monate gerade hörend zu diesem Album, um seine Größe aufzusaugen. Aber zu meiner überraschung gab es keine Größe. Ich nicht sogar möchte sprechen, über wie stumm und dumm dieses ist, also ich dich auf dieser sauren Anmerkung lasse.

He-he-he... Big%20smile
 
Awful Russian, by the way... Really horrible. Even muy horrible, he-he...
 
Can't judge the level of German, unfortunately... Unhappy
 
Happy 1.IV !!!

Turion's behavior is very strange, indeed... I don't mind with his ratings but he seems not to respect bands, fans and don't even give a clue if he is concerned with the songs. He writes fairly in English and can make new and more comprehensive reviews, repeating the ratings if he wishes!

Review by Turion (Patrick Soucy)
Posted 8:57:36 PM EST, 3/30/2007

1%20stars I sadly bought this album, thinking I was in for a treat. What a mistake... This band makes usual neo-prog music, (What the hell he expects from a band influenced by Marillion? If you read the bio it's clear) which is typically boring. (Sorry neo-prog fans :D) The whole thing sounds just like usual neo-prog,  (He has already said that before) which means the singer shouldn't be singing in the first place (Why shouldn't Neo Prog vocalist sing? What about Fish or Nick Barrett?)and there are lots of cheesy sounding keyboards. I don't know how someone can listen to this and not cringe, (Doesn't everybody has a taste?) because it sounds like a joke. (Why is it a joke?  Please explain) This music is really not serious; (Joke and not serious are synonymous in this case)  the songs are not good, (has said it three times already) they have no direction and the production is awful. This band is from my country too, (Who cares about this in the context it's written? This doesn´t give the guy more credibility) but I really shouldn't have supported them based only on this fact. Stay away from this one and go buy yourself some good music instead! (Only ranting and nothing else)
 
I believe this review is not remortely a review.
 
Not a word about the songs, structures or lyrics, just rants over and over, this is the same guy who made a review about SEBTP givoing one star and which was deleted.

The best part was "I really shouldn't have supported them based only on this fact". Great support, huh! LOL

I don't see a problem with writing in Spanish, Russian, and German, and I was only expressing my opinion on the album so whats the problem?

Let's not get too embroiled in this. Guiog has e-mailed the reviewer with details of the reasons for his actions, and inviting him to submit a revised review.

William Hung?

No, I have all of his albums, he definitely deserves to be here.  I run the RIO/Avant-Prog team, I say he stays. LOL

Atkingani,

Can you help me understand specifically which provision of the review guidelines Turion violated with his SEBTP review?

The challenge is greater to write a constructive review criticising an album, but as long as a critical review explains what is wrong with the album (in the reviewer's opinion) it is perfectly acceptable.



Why was it deleted then?

OK, thanks Easy Livin, what a challenge: instead of promoting lesser or unknown bands I focus on bands I don't like, I hope to blend creativity and venom, be prepared for a tidal flood of these kind of progrock reviews  Wink
