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]
 
 
Doesn't say a thing about the album itself.  Merely mentions song titles.

dealt with, sbrushfan...although I do wonder why you appear to be spending all your spare time looking for substandard reviews....

...I thought I was the only one sad enough to be doing that

 

HEHE!!!! Spare time is all I've got, apparently.  At least til I get this job...lol

Fandango...you're funny.

Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced...

SOFT MACHINE Third
Review (Permanent link) by ian carr @ 4:23:03 PM EST, 12/1/2003

1 stars  —  unbelieveably terrible outing for the once Daevid Allen led group.

some berate their later offerings as noodle-centric...

but, jesus, with all the over the top Burroughs/Pynchon references, i barely have room in my toilet for more.

listen to the later released and much more daring recordings by Styx and Kansas.

This review is absolute crap. It doesn't say anything about the music, and still says STYX is more daring...give me a break. The strange thing is it's written by someone named Ian Carr, obviously not the real one!!! I don't think Mr. Carr justifies his review whatsoever.

It's quite funny... and it does say a lot about how the album (and specifically this album) affects the reviewer...

It is kind of funny, I'll agree to that (funnier that "ian carr" wrote it), but I still think it's an awful review. I don't mind a one star review for the album (although it deserves five IMO), but I think a one star review needs clear and defined reasons of why the album is so bad.

I'll have a think about that one. (The fact that he considers Styx to be more daring is fine, that's just one man's opinion).

This is under my reviews profile and on the home page. I didn't write or submit it or even have the album!

Edit: I see what happened. I was wondering where that came from, Bob.

Yes, you're exactly right, I didn't mean to sound so harsh in my statements about his personal opinion.

YES "Relayer"
Review (Permanent link) by Shine
Posted 1:09:13 PM EST, 1/14/2006

5 stars   Relayer es un excelente album de Yes, la verdad este album no atraia para nada mi atención pero al escuchar el maravilloso tema "The Gates of Delirium" me sorprendi y ademas quede maravillado con esta maravilla que Yes ha hecho a favor del Rock Progresivo. Otra cosa que me gusto mucho fue la entrada de Patrick Moraz que le dio un respiro a anteriores albumes que eran "Fragile", Close to the Edge" o "Tales from Topographic Oceans" agregandole un estilo quiza maas tirado paara el jazz pero nunca alejandose de las raices de mi grupo favorito.Otra cosa que me agrado es que mantuvieron un pequeño estilo de "Yessongs"(hablando de sonido, no musicalmente), osea, que el sonido es el mismo y eso me agrado mucho. El ranking de este album es algo logico, aportar algo a la musica es dificil pero Relayer en su totalidad lo consigue, y con muchos honores.Personalmente encuentro que este es lejos el mejor album de al año 1974.

5 estrellas: Essential: a masterpiece of progressive music

Si pueden tambien escuchen los anteriores de Yes, en especial Yessongs que es album que tiene los mejores temas de Yes hasta ese momento, despues complementenlo con Tales from Topographic Oceans, Relayer y Going for the One y tendran lo mejor de Yes (sin tener que comprar una recopilacion donde salgan temas del album 90125)

ADAGIO "Dominate"

Posted 12:47:04 PM EST, 1/14/2006

3 stars   Fuah.. como el foro esta en ingles .. pos como que paso de explayarme hablando del cd.. pero pal que me este leyendo y me entienda. Estamos ante un buen album.. no comparable con los anteriores aunque ciertamente de calidad... La base del cd son las voces melodicas contrastadas con guturales.. y guitarras imagino que baritonas con ritmos algo mas "machacones" en detrimento del virtuosismo instrumental sobretodo que en el primer cd, (ahora entiendo porque David Readman se fue...) No obstante un buen cd. Son como Symphony x pero version "Metal Oscuro".. ma burrillos!.. jeje. Nos vemos y si no.. pos nos imaginamos!

Que?

"Relayer" is an excellent Yes album, although initially it didn't attract my attention but when hearing the spectacular song "The Gates of Delirium" I was suprised and marvelled with this jewel that Yes gifted to the Progressive Rock. Another factor that I liked much was the insertion of Patrick Moraz who gave a new breath to the band when compared to previous releases "Fragile", "Close to the Edge" and "Tales from Topographic Oceans" and he also added a style more jazzy but never leaving the roots of my favorite band. Another thing that pleased me was that they kept a bit of "Yessongs" (talking about sound, not the music), it means, the sound is the same and satisfied me enough. I personally find this album by far the best 1974 release.

5 stars: essential, a masterpiece of progressive music.

Also hear previous Yes' albums, specially "Yessongs" that comprises the best Yes songs until then, completing with "TFTO", "Relayer" and "Going for the One" to have the best of Yes (without purchasing a recompilation where appear songs from "90125" album).

Gosh... like the forum is in English how can I talk about the CD? Well, I hope someone who reads me may understand. We are behind a good album... not comparable to previous although certainly with quality... The CD core are the melodic voices contrasting with the guttural ones and the guitars that I imagine to be barytones with more heavy tunes in detriment of instrumental musicianship as heard in the first CD (now I understand why David Readman left the band). Nevertheless, a good CD. They are like Symphony X in a Dark Metal version... more boring (?)! hehe... See you and if not.... (???)

My opinion: keep the rating and forget this review!

Hugs, Guigo

Thanks Atkingani,

Here's a couple more for any takers.Confused

RIVERSIDE "Second Life Syndrome"
Review (Permanent link) by johnny
Posted 3:33:07 PM EST, 1/14/2006

5 stars   X me qst gruppo è fantastico...cambia continuamente l'epressione dei loro brani cn melodie a dir poco eccezzionali. poi Duda alla voce è strepitoso, scandisce le parole fino all'ultima sillaba.la kitarra cn quei suoni prolungati veramente mi fa venire i brividi addosso. sn straordinari e spero ke faciano altri diski cn lo stesso ritmo e lo stesso senso di oscurità ke trasmettono, ma soprattutto cn le stesse emozioni...

KAYAK "Merlin - Bard of the Unseen"
Review (Permanent link) by camila scatta
Posted 3:49:45 PM EST, 1/14/2006

5 stars   Estoy plenamente maravillada por esta obra de arte de kayak. esta banda no es muy conocida en mi pais pero deberia serlo, tendria que escucharse mas en las radios, deberia tener mas difusion. este album es excelente sin lugar a dudas. destaco la fuerza de las voces y el ambiente que le dan los teclados acordes a la historia o leyenda del rey arturo y el mago merlin. las letras las he traducido y son esquisitas poesias... me quede asombrada totalmente. cualquier fanatico de kayak que quiera contactarse conmigo por favor que me escriba a la direccion de e mail. un saludo!

RIVERSIDE "Second Life Syndrome"
Review (Permanent link) by Yrzef
Posted 3:05:50 PM EST, 1/14/2006

5 stars   It is our cause to proud have a band in a world level. "Second Life Syndrome" is a genial exemple of polish possibility. Riverside boldness can compete with lord of prog metal - Dream Theater and many other good band like Purcupine Tree, Opeth, Pink Floyd (old but great!), Marillion (also old but splendid too!).

See you on Riverside concerts!
