I really like your review !!

^Yeah, it's starting to get to that time when I start skipping over the over saturated reviews, so your's probably made it in just under the wire!

I just wanted to slot it into the front page while there were no other `Is This The Life We Really Want' reviews there, but give it a few hours, I'm sure another will pop up before too long! It's not too often we get such high-profile releases in Prog Land!

Michael. It's a decent read, my friend. Not to worry.
Also, I finally got some great time with the album yesterday. Spun it about three 3 times. It's a hit with me.
It's nothing short of a brilliant mood piece. What I mean by that is you really have to be in the right head space to fully appreciate this album. It's not a casual listen and I like how your review kind of indicated that to be so.

Thanks mate.

Hey, Jim, great to hear you enjoyed the album (I'm sure Thomas would be stoked as well), always nice to find out someone likes an album of something we reviewed as opposed to a `What the hell are they on about?!' response...which I'm sure has also happened plenty!

I know the band kind of splintered a few months back, but are trying to work through it, hopefully it all comes together, there's too much talent in that group based on the strength of their first two discs!

By the way, did you get the album on CD or LP? I've only got the compact disc, but damn I envy anyone who picks that second one up on the larger vinyl format, just look at that cover!

^ still waiting for your Josquin Messonnier review, Tszirmay.

I enjoyed Aussie-Byrd-Brother's compelling review of Spanish heavy prog band The Storm's eponymous debut album. I specifically want to call out the vivid adjectives used to describe the music: "ballsy heavy rock", "Hammond organ-dominated", "rocking blast of energy", "dense dirty Hammond backing", "strangled acid-rock wailing soloing", "howling guitar histrionics".

I have already added The Storm my future music acquisitions list.

The 1000th review by Kev Roland.  And of the band that got him into prog in the first place, Galahad. Very cool.

Actually, I just wanted to thank Matti for dropping no less than FOUR superb Italian album reviews in a row recently, with his run of the latest Universal Totem Orchestra, Phoenix Again, Panther and C. and Il Tempio delle Clessidre write-ups. Sadly I'm still waiting on my order with these titles so I feel I dropped the ball in not having gotten around to them yet, so it's very appreciated that he offered his usual excellence in discussing those particular recent Italian titles.

It's really good to see a lot of positivity in this thread as all the reviewers, if you agree with them or not, really put a lot a heart and effort into their reviews!

Good review Silly Pup, but I think the album falls more towards folk rock than psych pop, but it was a great review. Nice to see Nil Recurring reviewed by VianaProghead. A very underrated album from PT featuring one Robert Fripp.
