PINK FLOYD - Meddle (1971)
Review (Permanent link) by Howard the Duck @ 10:12:36 PM EST, 9/9/2005  —
One of these Days: Wind effects and bass and finally guitar open into Roger's wierd voice : "ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF". A more fast-paced track than the following. The album is underwater themed, you can hear it already. Mason's reverse cimbals and Wright's bursts of keyboard eventually come to the fabled line and some real Floyd jamming. Not a problem with this review,it is perfectly done,a great presentation of every piece,yet the only wrong thing is the words on "One Of These Days"...For goodness sake,stop inventing something other than what it is... So just this small thing,Easy Livin,the rest is perfect...  |

CAMEL - The Snow Goose (1975)
Review (Permanent link) by Commadoreguff @ 12:48:43 AM EST, 9/10/2005  — I Love The snow goose,Its an excellent album with good songs that are very interesting. The best songs on This Album are Rhayader,Flight Of The Snow Goose and The Great Marsh although all the songs are of very high standad. This is camel at their best and is well worth getting it. Doesn't seem like much of a review...doesn't even seem coherent...

I noticed those two guys.
 Tool deleted, TMV I left, but e-mailed the reviewer suggesting the review was weak. Any comments?

 MARS VOLTA, THE - De-loused in the Comatorium (2003)Review (Permanent link) by Nils @ 12:24:54 PM EST, 9/9/2005 — I think this is a perfect masterpiece. Should be in every record-collection! Theres nothing at the CD they should have done in a different way. I know Im supposed to be critical here, but Ive been listening to this album for about 2 years now, trying to find mistakes, faults or annoying things, but still, I cant do anything but loving it. This is something new. Its not like dream theater, and its not prog. This music should not be played by cover-bands. The fact that that the musicians in the band is extremely skilled, is just a plus. And I must add: "Skilled" does not mean "plays really fast". Allready, this album is concidered an all-time-classic. And it totally deserves it. Well... what do you think, Easy Livin?

 TOOL - Lateralus (2001)Review (Permanent link) by Bar None @ 11:04:25 AM EST, 9/9/2005  — This is not prog this is not prog! Why does everyone like this band so much? WHY????? They are nothing special- just a band with JACKED up lyrics- way too much negativity- overrated musicians- This album is rock- not prog- and its not even good rock. All i have to say. |

Traditional Haggis (from Evelyn Hlabse, [email protected])1 sheep's pluck (stomach bag) 2 lb.. dry oatmeal 1 lb. suet 1 lb. lamb's liver 2 1/2 cups stock 1 large chopped onion 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, Jamaica pepper and salt Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep's pluck with the mixture pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12. Mmmmmh ... delicious. |

All added to my "have a look at" list guys. Thanks Eetu, yes many of us agree with you that the present situation with these needs to be looked at. |

Yep, I meant that, sorry for my rusty english. It's "a trap" where one easily falls when truly hating something... I noted some of these while working with some rarer Landberk releases: http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=765 http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=766 http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=767 I'm not very convinced, that someone hating their music so much would have even listened, nor bought such ep's and a special release... typos...

RUSH 2112  — 2112 by far the best effort up to this point . the title track still sends a shiver down my spine as peart conjurs up his vision of the future side 2 also rocks with one duffer in "tears". excellent stuff buy now!!! RUSH 2112 — Otro disco esencial, debido en gran parte al tema "2112", el alma mater de este disco y la joya de la primera etapa de Rush por excelencia. Virtuosismo y fuerza a partes iguales.Another essential disc, mainly due to the theme '2112', the alma mater of this disc and the main jewel of the first stage of Rush's career. Virtuosism and power, at fifty-fifty. RUSH 2112 — This band played at the Rosemont Horizon...about 15,000 people were at the show...the rock show was awesome...the jam session whupped a polar bear's ass... RUSH! RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!Rock over London, Rock on, Chicago. Best Buy - Turn on the fun.  |

Thanks Miracle, Damen, I haven't reached ELP yet in my retrospective check. I guess the "Love beach" reviews highlight the dilema faced when writing a revieww of an album you don't like. I know Hugues Chantraine is currently updating some of his earlier reviews. |

GENESIS Abacab
Review (Permanent link) by Hugues Chantraine @ 9:39:23 AM EST, 2/27/2004 SPECIAL COLLABORATION — Mr painter can't say it any better than i could ever wish to. Well actually the title track is not that bad , but it is the only sign that the old Gen ever once existed. For the rest this is pityful for progheads , but somehow if this had been a Wham! album , we might think it is good This review doesn't even make much sense...
GENESIS Abacab
Review (Permanent link) by aztech @ 5:31:28 PM EST, 11/12/2003  — I would say the album is bad but the song abacab and especially DODO are very good so it saves it to an average. Keep it dark and who dunnit are literally crap.Genesis were definetly trying to go pop unfortunately for us prog fans. Doesn't even meet the 50 word minimum.

Actually, a lot of love beach reviews suck EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Love Beach EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Love Beach EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Love Beach — The easiest thing to say is..."Love bitch not beach". I imagine ELP did a silly session while spending time surfing & under the Bahamas sun...it's difficult to understand the reasons behind this album but something went really wrong with those boys...just forget it! EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Love Beach
Review (Permanent link) by Guilherme Baldin the GG fanatic @ 11:30:37 AM EST, 12/22/2004 — The first thing I notice when I saw this album's cover was that Greg Lake wasn't pale anymore, now he had a good summer colour, and the whole band was happy, shiny and with hairy chests. Absurd, three great musicians standing in a beach like this is some "BAYWATCH" TV series. So, was I already had wasted my money on "Works", I just stayed away and ignored it. You should do the same. You be the judge, Easy
