I reviewed Tyr's Eric The Red and it was up for about 4 months and i just noticed it got taken down. I was just wondering why.

The review was titled This Should Be Remembered with a score of 100%

As for Razakel's, I don't really care if he's imitating you, but he directly insults you and then says he's going to refute your position (a no-no around here), and then goes on to write a review that is at best barely acceptable given the other reviews; one plus the other = nuke.

What does that album have to do with this situation?

There are over a dozen reviews flaming the album. And most for the same reasons.

He doesn't know. It was the first thing that came to his mind.

The score is of no consequence. Reviews that directly address other reviewers are not kept. Likewise, reviewers who are dense enough to come right out and say that they're writing with the express purpose of effecting the numerical average (in either the positive or the negative direction) are also liable to find their work refused or removed.

I apologize for providing you with "false comfort" (for lack of a better term), as the review should not have been accepted in the first place if it was guilty of the features quoted above. Because this much at least is not your fault, you'll face no further penalty (normally, I punish reviewers who commit the above, and encourage the others to do so as well). Regardless, when a puppy shits on the rug because you weren't watching him closely enough, the thing to do is to clean it up. Not put a plaque in front of it.
