[a href=\'http://www.portlandmusicians.com/crave/2005/07/cd_ironmaiden.shtml\' target=\'_blank\']Crave Magazine[/a] recently posted a review of The Essential Iron Maiden written by Robin Steeley.

Source: Ironmaiden.org
 
Didn't want to post this in the original news post, but I think this is one of the most pointless reviews I've ever read.
 
Thanks Perun, but as you say, it's not newsworthy at all [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Will move this to Maiden Chat so people can react anyway.

Cheers
 
I was unsure of whether to post it in Maiden Chat or News, but I think you made the right decision [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
You call that a review??? If you want one, follow [a href=\'http://www.maidenfans.com/imc/?url=album13b_essential/commentary13b_essential&lang=eng&link=albums\' target=\'_blank\']this link[/a]!

The sad thing is, that Crave reviewer probably gets paid for what he writes there. Mav doesn't.
 
I wish I had a penny for each visitor... [!--emo&:(--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sad.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'sad.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
I hadn't seen that IMC's new page about this Essential thing. You could have added that best-of, beyond being released every three years, emerged after the selling of their back-catalogue [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Anyway, I very much enjoyed the text of that journalist. Well written, well thought of !

Hope that, one day, Mav, you'll get some kind of recognition of your work, behind the one of the fans. You deserve it for all the dedication you put into this quality website.

Cheers

Ok, I'm going to have to read this review. [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
EDIT: Usually, when a review starts with "I was a little worried...", it's fishy to me. This review is too unsubstantial to even be fishy.

Mav, you practically do get more money each time you get a hit with the value of your site advertisement wise increases. [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
