That's odd, especially for that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd, especially for that place. It will take about 500 reviews to really compare though. As it is here not, many of the over-zealous fanbois are posting, not that I mind, but once the non-Rushfan writes reviews, we could see it fall.

The Owl Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Nice to see it that way, for now... Yeah some over at that site can be as you said "elitist", but damn if it's not a good resource guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) I love Progarchives but I think its ridiculous that a collaborator's review has more weight than an ordinary member. What makes their opinion any more valid? And, like goober said, some people will give a great album a lower rating since its not "prog enough".

Yeah, progarchives reviews are VERY valuable for progressive rock albums, but for albums that aren't, the results get a lot more squirrely - actually, the fact that it's rated as high as it is for an album that isn't prog rock speaks quite well for the album.

Gompers Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Some of the reviews gave perspective that listeners were moderately knowledgeable about Rush. Comments about rehashed materials indicated they they don't know Rush well enough to see what they have done with CA. Over at PA, Rush suffers the same fate, though not as extreme, as Dream Theater, where fanbois can actually ruin the credibility of the band, regardless that it is unfair to the band. Not that Rush really gives a rat's ass about ProgArchives or any such site. Edited July 5, 2012 by Gompers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
