You're right Greg ... that's a rant, not a review ... it's days are numbered

NOTE TO OTHER REVIEWS ADMIN: I'm handling this one, but I've got to run and there are some complaints on the previous page I haven't dealt with yet ... sorry!

MUTANTES, OS "Tudo Foi Feto Pelo Sol"
Review (Permanent link) by Fabrício Alvim Carvalho
Posted 11:25:13 PM EST, 1/10/2006
5 stars   Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol é simplesmente o melhor album da Banda! Além do instrumental, as letras são dignas de um clássico do progressivo. Este album demonstra, acima de tudo, a maturidade musical de SÉRGIO DIAS, que reuniu uma turma da pesada para sua construção. RUY MOTTA simplesmente destroi na batera! Os teclados de TÚLIO MOURÃO são empolgantes, especialmente em "cidadão da Terra". A. PEDRO DE MEDEIROS segura legal no baixo, formando uma cozinha espetacular baixo-batera! SÉRGIO DIAS faz milagres na guitarra. Quem não se emociona com os solos paralelos em "Deixe entrar um pouco d'água no quintal" ou "Eu só penso em te ajudar"? Na minha opinião, este album está dentre uns seletos cinco estrelas do Progressivo Brasileiro, como BACAMARTE (Depois do Fim), SOM NOSSO DE CADA DIA (Snegs) e O TERÇO (O Terço II).
 
"Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol" is really the best Mutantes' album! Besides musicianship, the lyrics are worth of a prog classic. This album shows, above all, the musical matureness of Sérgio Dias, who grouped a great team to build it.
Ruy Motta simply fulminates the drums! Túlio Mourão keyboards are thrilling, specially in 'Cidadão da Terra'. A. Pedro de Medeiros does a fine job with the bass, forming a worderful bass-drums background. Sergio Dias makes miracles with the guitar: who does not get excited with his parallel solos in 'Deixe entrar um pouco d'água no quintal' or 'Eu só penso em te ajudar'?
In my opinion, this album is among a distinct group of Brazilian Prog 5-stars, like BACAMARTE ("Depois do Fim"), SOM NOSSO DE CADA DIA ("Snegs") and O TERÇO ("O Terço II").

TERÇO, O "O Terço II"
Review (Permanent link) by Fabrício Alvim Carvalho
Posted 11:09:43 PM EST, 1/10/2006
5 stars   Sem sombra de dúvidas, MARAVILHOSO! Uma das obras primas do Progressivo Brasileiro! Conheci o disco após estar "viciado" nas obras com Flávio Venturini, e notei uma expressiva diferença. A começar, que agrada os amantes do Heavy Prog. Algumas levadas lembram os riffs violentos do BLACK SABBATH, ou o Prog pesado da época áurea do URIAH HEEP. Isto demonstra o peso do "power trio" pré Venturini, ou seja, a essência da banda. Por mais este motivo, o disco merece destaque. Pena que seja menos conhecido que os demais...
 
 
 
Undoubtless, WONDERFUL! One masterpiece of the Brazilian Progressive!
I knew this album after being addicted to Flávio Venturini's works and noticed meaningful differences. To start, it pleases heavy-prog aficionados. Some tunes remind the wild riff of Black Sabbath or the heavy-prog of Uriah Heep golden era. This demonstrates the strength of the pre-Venturini power trio, i.e, the band's core.
For all those reasons this album is worth to be noted. It's a pity that it is less recognized than the others...

Ok, but I made a mistake...  please change 'Undoubtless'  for 'Undoubtedly' .

Best regards, Guigo

Not that I'm saying this is inappropriate, but I just had to share this classic review line with you all:

"If my pile of dirty clothes in the hamper spouted this stuff for 36 minutes, I'd seriously consider washing them until they stopped talking."

only on Prog Archives...

GENESIS Spot the pigeons
Review (Permanent link) by claudio @ 1:09:14 AM EST, 2/6/2005
4 stars  —  Please, I´m CALLING ALL STATIONS, I want MANY TOO MANY to get this great little album. Right now I feel I´m INSIDE AND OUT, or like a MAN ON THE CORNER, because I don´t know where I could obtain it. I don´t ask myself LIKE IT OR NOT this EP; I´m sure that I really would like TURN IT ON AGAIN; PLEASE DON´T ASK ME why, but if you know A TRICK OF THE TAIL, teach me it. I hope that some day I could DANCE ON A VOLCANO, happy with my SPOT THE PIGEONS at my hands, feeling like AFTERGLOW. THAT´S ALL.

Any information, please send it at e-mail: [email protected]

^ This isn't a review - it's a request for info on where he can get the EP. Quite cleverly written I think. Obviously the guy didn't know he should have posted it in the forum.

RUSH "Hemispheres"
Review (Permanent link) by alex simpson
Posted 10:38:46 PM EST, 1/11/2006
5 stars   Where you were introduced to Rush is an everlasting impression. I was introduced to Rush with an borrowed b8-track tape of Hemispheres, and I left my heart in La Villa Strangiato. In my opinion, the pinnicle of that exceptional work between 2112 and Moving Pictures.

GENESIS "Abacab"
Review (Permanent link) by Peter pumpkin eater!
Posted 9:27:03 PM EST, 1/10/2006
5 stars   Oh you bunch of small minded cretins!!!!!!!!!! the whole nature of Progressive rock is to change and push boundaries. Are you seriously trying to tell me that this band should have gone on spinning out material that they were playing ten years previous and still be playing it in the early eighties....times change, and if the musicians are top notch then so do they!! Genesis had done the mellotron, twelve string guitars thing to death. Yes...it was brilliant...... and if you want to hear it, then listen to the early albums for god's sake!!!! Abacab was a brilliant and original effort. Utterly ridiculous to suggest that this band should have stayed the same as it did way back in the early seventies just to please old sticks in the mud...they would have never survived had they not the capabillity to change and embrace and experiment with new areas. GET A LIFE (that's what Tony, Mike, Phil and Steve would tell you to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your reviews are pathetic and inaccurate. Five Stars
 
 
 
 
 
 
The words in bold are the only ones that describe the lp. That=6 words and thus needs to be removed as the rest of them are there to insult other reviewers.

I'm sure this has been deleted, but STEVE HACKETT in ABACAB??
