No, I didn't. That's awesome. Big smile

What have you heard?


As of this evening, I will have heard all four official studio albums.

Concerts is left.


Great! Hug

Once I get around to reviewing the three studio albums I haven't yet, they'll all have 5 stars. Tongue

Hey Alex, Im quite excellent, but I couldn't sleep so I got up at 5:30 and I'm just waiting for other people to awaken. It's 8am now Sleepy. Editing some photos, getting ready to do two interviews next week - and all that - and all that.


Sounds good. Clap

Whom are you interviewing?



@Harry - why did it matter so much that your review be first? I understand the importance of having it first, or early anyways when it comes to new albums, but why did it have to be first?


I don't really know entirely to be honest.
I guess (and it's most likely) that it's just about wanting PA to have that kind of "on top of and up to date on prog" image of the site and I was tipped to review the album the day of it's release (as I obtained a legal promotional copy of the album not legally available to the general public a few weeks before hand).


Promos are sweet... I love 'em


You could still review the album now and give it an honest review

Electronic drums. Big smile

Sounds good to me.

Which book?


Baudolino by Umberto Eco.

Cool presents. Got mostly money, but some books, perfume and other beauty/hygiene products (like I need it! Approve) and some cool tea etc. etc.

I know that I am safe from being kidnapped to the eclectic bunker.  You won't be able to get any ransom for me.  As matter of fact you'd probably have to pay my friends and family to take me back.


You'll convince your parents yourself, once you will live 3 days without a sound of Rush. Wink


Shocked

Oh, you want too? Big smile

Why would someone get chosen to do a specific review anyway?


Well, basically, it's obvious a job like that wouldn't go to anyone that wasn't at least a Prog Reviewer at the minimum (no "regular" members basically) and I'm a Prog Metal Collab, and the problem was, Jody was absent too much at the time (and still is), Plankowner doesn't really do reviews, The T was away from PA too much, and so was Sleeper, so they picked me.
The problem is, The T and sleeper are the guys on the Prog Metal Team more passionate about "Prog Metal" and I'm more passionate about Tech/Extreme and Post/Experimental, but the band I was tipped to review, was Prog Metal.
And well, I'm just not that excited about that side of prog metal anymore, so I wouldn't have been able to give it more than 3 stars, because frankly I didn't see that album as being too special.


Ah, okay. That is interesting.

Have you guys ever thought of making sub-sets of the PMT (but still having one team)?
