This is a horrid review, mine might have been bad before, but this is way worse than I have ever gone. Mine might not have had explanations, but this is way too far. |

^Its definitely not going to win any awards, but at least he talks about what is on the album and what aspects caused him to rate it that way. The only real violation here is the suicide suggestion at the end which I will message the writer about.
Actually, not going to bother messaging. Reviewer has not visited since 2013. I seriously doubt he will get the message.

This line in the review bothers me quite a bit: "Although TCat put this album into Pekka's studio-albums, this really is a vinyl-only compilation released by small Finnish underground label Harm'nia." I'm the first to admit I make mistakes. I would rather he PMs me since he does know this artist. I don't think a review is the place to call out mistakes made by other members. He has PM'ed me in the past, I don't know why he chose to display it in public this time. Anyway, I changed the information and asked him (in a PM) to please edit his review. I have now messaged him twice. I have seen that he has been online for a while now, but he hasn't changed it yet. As far as the information gathering I do in the site, I am trying to update discographies, and am finding out that there is a lot of work that needs to be done, so it's turned out to be a daunting task. Yes, I will make mistakes, so I welcome PMs from people that notice any mistakes and would prefer that method of communication.

^Well, I PM into TCat this album and also Vertical Pillars of Pekka Airaksinen are compilations about month ago, but he didnīt do anything from them. I am sorry I mentioned his name in the review, donīt do that anymore, only mention if some album has put in the wrong category.
I was going to add those two Pekka albums into compilations, but not yet hadnīt done it, when Tcat added them. And I really immediately sent him PM and told those albums were wrong place. You can watch Pekkaīs discography that I have added there all the albums I have found from the net with covers. I havenīt got right to do changes, so thatīs reason why I havenīt changed those albums into right place. Also, I made edit as fast I got the message. I am really not here all the time.

^Thanks for doing the edit. Sorry for my misunderstanding with your original message a month ago. I also made the change you requested for Vertical Pillars.
I always appreciate your input by the way.

Hello, my name is Hector Jensen from Peru, I was wrong and a review of Yes The Ladder was posted on Yes Union. I ask you if you can remove the Union one because it does not apply.
Thank you very much and sorry for the error. My username is Hector Enrique Regards

Does anybody else find it super suspicious that albums that have not yet been released consistently have a bunch of 5 star ratings and, even more suspiciously, no reviews to back the rating up? I get that some people have early access to the record on account of their own musical connections or personal journalistic endeavors. But then why is it always 5-stars and without a review?
I saw this with the new Haken album and others which have since been released. But here are some other examples that still apply at the time of writing this post: Edited by ssmarcus - August 20 2020 at 01:49 |

Quick follow up here guys --> I think with some basic SQL queries, the admins can easily clear out these suspicious early 5-star reviews on an album. For instance, a certain threshold could be decided regarding how old the reviewer's account is, whether or not here is a review, and whether or not the record has been formally released. I do not mind assisting with this if there is any interest. Just a suggestion :-)

Still think this review is kinda baloney. Doesn't mention any of the songs, most of the "review" is talking about other music by other artists. Someone who hasn't listened to the album could have written this review and from the sounds of it OP listened no more than once and called it a day.

this reviewer has been criticized here for several of his reviews. Don't know if this is just poor writing or just abuse...

Yeah, Zoltan's PA reviews are not always very high quality. However, I do like his 'Worst to Bests' on his YT channel.
