That's a good point. This isn't a place for rants. I'm sorry. I will delete my negative reviews.
These two albums are still POS imho! xD Edited by Hrychu - April 05 2021 at 08:45 |

^I remember this person's review of the Minotaurus album and, although I didn't agree with it qualitatively, it did make some points that I couldn't really argue with. I suppose what's shocking in this Jed review is that the group/album had only just been added to PA. Was the reviewer waiting around for the album to get added so they could slam it? Or did they decide to make an example of it after one listen. Probably the part that I object to the most is the reviewer saying it isn't prog. There is a line between commenting on the low prog quotient of an album as part of a constructive review and implying they shouldn't even be on the site and this reviewer has crossed it IMO

^ As bad as the review is, I think it describes enough about the nature of the album for PA's fairly low bar. The term "uninspired" I always find to be a sort of fundamental attribution error. Who are we to decide what inspires somebody else? Anyway, other than those couple lines, it is as you say, a rant. Let me give it some thought.

Do rants qualify as reviews? The latest for Merlin's Song by Jed doesn't do anything about bitch about how user hates it. Are these types of reviews allowed? Review says absolutely nothing about the album itself. User has a history of writing such reviews. Edited by siLLy puPPy - April 04 2021 at 06:39 |

There's an awful lot of reviews and ratings for this album that comes out in 2 weeks. I heard the album leaked, so that might be worth looking into, but yeah the rating distribution is a bit fishy. One of the reviewers, Issac Peretz, dude is one of those "5 Stars or 1 Star" reviewers. The number of pretty objectively great records he just slaps one or two stars on is very sad. And he always rates an album and reviews it at a later date so i'll just see scores randomly tank and that's typically the culprit. Smh, sucks watching the whole Opeth discography sink in rating at the cost of the most vanilla, plain and pedestrian prog band of all time: Karfagen get yet another unworthy boost. This is the end of my rant about this guy, nothing rule breaking, his reviews just really bother me

At this moment on the home page there are three reviews written in Spanish by a Peruvian newbie. Please wait a bit before deleting them. I've PM'd him and explained that only English is allowed so I'd like to give him enough time to translate them, even with google. I hope he can understand my poor Spanish.

If both volumes are up seperately then both reviews should be allowed, one for each album, I actually view they as one double album and always play it that way.

^ Mmmm, at first I thought they were duplicates, but ...
So the second review was different by ONE word: What should we do? Edited by projeKct - March 29 2021 at 04:56 |

I wondered that myself when I read it. There’s no evidence at all that they’ve listened to anything more than what has been officially released prior to the album (which is approximately half the album, but that’s besides the point). I’m quite dubious as to whether this reviewer has actually listened to the album at all. 🙄 |

I feel like this isn't even a review, it's very dramatic at the very least. The album isn't out, but it has leaked. This review says next to nothing about the album outside of the title, someone who hasn't listened to the album could have written this.
