Hi Marya, thanks for your report. maybe the review has already been edited because I don't see where he tells people how to rate a record.

Maybe she means the first sentence: "Ambitious psych or proto prog that should not be too highly regarded as this is their first one and they will get much better." Anyway, what an ancient (or maybe antenatal Wink) review!

i came across this as i was about to review the album. this has nothing to do with the rating they give, i wouldve brought this up if they'd rated it 5 stars. i dont really understand what he's saying and, more to the point, i hear nothing about the music itself just kind of a discussion about the era we live and political art rock bands. i think. it was confusing. . .

Review.

That really was one of the most confusing reviews I've ever read - and yes, I don't think the album was actually reviewed as such.  Stern Smile

Most of the review is not to problematic. But the last line, ("This cd p*sses me off, what a waste of money, what drugs are you guys on? ") I don't think is something that should be in a review.

Personally, I think the whole review is worthless and conveyed in borderline offensive language. Not something I'd call an asset to the site.

Two different Uriah Heep albums, one reviewer, the same review:

URIAH HEEP — Equator
Review by poslednijat_colobar (Atanas Dimov)

1 stars Oh... no, what's this! This album unarguably is the weakest to that date by Uriah Heep and a candidate for the weakest ever by the band. It's quite boring and its best song it around 2.2 - 2.3 stars. I mean the best song on the album. The sound is parted and blunt. Almost awful! Amateur quality of music. It don't looks like professional way of making music. I think the best song is... oh I don't know, which is... Maybe Red Lights or Sweet Talk or Love is Blind. But even the best songs are so boring. I believe this is one of the albums that have listeners only because of the name of the band. If you are Uriah Heep's fan you need this album only for the completion of the discography and nothing more! 1 star.

Thanks Phillip, I'm assuming he made a mistake putting the same review twice, I sent him a PM.

There are two reviews on the main page.  Word for word, they're the same review, both by the same person and they are both about Uriah Heep records. 
Here's the links:

Hi Marya, thanks for your report. maybe the review has already been edited because I don't see where he tells people how to rate a record.
 
Of course he does.  It's in the first sentence.  "Should not be regarded too highly."

regard <-> rate = a bit of a difference IMO. "should not be regarded too highly" is, usually, an expression meant to say "I didn't find anything impressive about this album". Yes, it also translates into "I'm recommending you folks not to have great expectations about this album", but that's not in contradiction with the rules (therefore not an abuse!)...

If reviewing here is not about recommending, then why would those reviews saying "yes, regard this highly" less abusive (hypothetically speaking)  then those saying "don't regard this highly"? Confused

Well his language is not precise, but I think he is saying that he does not hold the album in high regard, which is OK for a reviewer to say.

Kinda feels that this reviewer steps over a line or three - basically using the review as a basis for a rant against some aspects of the site, and rating the album down because the reviewer feels it is placed in the wrong place. Last is sad but up to the reviewer, first is somewhat out of order as I see it.

I've recently made a review of Queen II that has some capital letters at the very beggining. Are you able to edit those mistakes?

See the FAQ's thread (in the site rules section) for details on editing reviews Crimbo.
 
Review 136288 appears to have been dealt with.
