That would be tough. You'll have to buy more albums just to review. LOL

Well, I mean choosing which album to review if you have too many of one particular rating. For example, I had alot of 5's right away so I had to purposefully make sure I didn't review my next couple albums as all 5's.

Sometimes the hardest part is picking an album to review. Wacko

Especially with "star" distribution.

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel.

I could imagine.

I'm glad you liked the EP though, and your rating was fitting. Big smile

What I'm recording right now sounds remarkably like Camel.  Smile

Like a missing track right off of Moonmadness.

see, that's what I don't get. If it's easier to develop your own unique sound then why don't more bands do that?

I'll be honest- several times I've tried to "emulate" the sound or style of a given band, and you know what?  I've found that I can't do it.  I just can't.

I'm happy to say that (again, for better or for worse), I have my own sound, and I feel like my compositions are at least unique.

One aspect of my sound is that I don't "polish" the recording to a sqeuaky sheen, if that makes any sense.  In other words, I don't always edit out little hisses or clicks.  Sometimes I feel like those are just a part of the music as anything else.  I guess I prefer my sound a little more "organic."

True. For the most part I agree with this.


you'll notice in my IQ review I went for the jugular like many reviewers who don't like Neo. The thing is that THIS time, I could REALLY hear Supper's Ready while I was listening to Harvest Of Souls, down to te same bloody backing keyboards in the song as Banks used on Foxtrot. Also, when you've heard hundreds and hundreds of albums you start looking for something that doesn't sound like every ohter bloody thing in the market.

That said, I like neo. Misplaced Childhood is once of my all-time favorite records.


I have heard that about "Harvest of Souls."

None of my music is in 9/8, if that's any consolation.
