Well,
here is is folks- the MOST OVERATED ALBUM ON THIS SITE. Easy..no doubt about
it.
The

sound like a truck
filled
with musical instruments colliding with a wall- its horrible- not untill the
femanistic
vocals
come in does the song take a slight change for the better. Yes- he sounds like
a
woman.
The lyrics are not as 'deep' as everyone says- instead, they are rather basic-
most
liekly
sophistcated to an 8th grader. Dont try to analyze "Seasons Change..I get
up..I get
Down"
ust meaningless lyrics. The rest of the album is DULL- nothing great here at
all- but
a
headache, and an oveerated pile of trash. <br><br>BLAH!!!" He could at least spell correctly before posting such a negative review of something most people consider to be a masterpiece

I'm gonna do some searching into threads dealing with ratings, and see what problems people seem to have. Then I'll address those in my statement.

of course you do... 
Even if you think it doesn't live up to the hype (what does). It
obviously is an album every prog fan should have. A true essential
album of prog.. which reviewers like that twit above.. don't begin to
fathom.

With
the way the ratings look for those two, that would impossible without
heavily distorting the ratings beyond any form of logic hahaha I think
it would be a crime for Genesis not to be in the top 10 anyway haha.
Unfortunately ELP, in my opinion, is sadly underrated on the archives 
Besides, I'm happy enough with my PR status, no need to become SC 
|
  worth a try......

Well considering 48 collabs rated Selling England by the Pound a 5, and
only 19 collabs rated Brain Salad Surgery a 5 it makes a huge
difference haha
If you keep the current weights of collabs having a 10, all other
reviews a 3, and nonreview ratings a 1, Brain Salad Surgery gets an
overall score of 4.05
If I bump collab weight down to 3, and other reviews down to 2 it gets a 4.11
Make all ratings equal and it stays with a 4.11. You want it to get any
higher then you better start convincing some collabs that ELP is better
than Genesis

HAH!!!!!! It has taken 2+ years to only gather a small elite
strikeforce of ELP fanatics from the gen pop here... it might take
another 10 to get enough collabs with all the Genesis on the brain
around here  Oh well...I guess I will have to accept that

In ten years all of the acne-faced adolescents will have been promoted to SCs and DT will dominate 6 of the 10 top spots with Opeth dominating the other 4. There won't be any room for Genesis or ELP.

For a second I was scared, but then I realized anyone worthy of that position probably listens to a hell of a lot more than just prog metal haha. Hey, I'm only 18, and I love everything equally  And hey, I just started getting into Magma today!!!
