3 stars   Best listened at night-time. Dim moods and magical sounds are conquering. I specially like Radioactive toy. I recommend this album. It's very good live-album, but not so essential album if compare in other PT-albums.

Short and inexpressive...

 

Kinda like some other reviews here...

Nothing about the album at all.  Why is it not a masterpiece?

STREAM OF PASSION "Embrace The Storm"
Review (Permanent link) by D. Noisserger
Posted 1:23:56 PM EST, 2/1/2006

3 stars   As the last reviewer said, It's not a masterpiece, your progressive music collection do not need it absolutly, but it's an very very good album anyway. Before I bought EMBRACE THE STORM, I listen 2 or 3 sample and I didn't like it. But I finaly took my credit card and order the album anyway. It's really sounding great when I listen to it and change my mind about Lucassen and Marcela lastest effort.

Nice job

GENESIS "Selling England By The Pound"
Review (Permanent link) by drain-o
Posted 12:58:25 PM EST, 2/1/2006

5 stars   I think that selling England by book is very marvellous. It is not as good as foxtrot and of the crimes of seedbed, but it is always one of best of all the hour, in the top of the twenty-five things. I like to listen it by eating pizza pie with a table of picnic. Gabriel has its voice to do a nice work and the load of lyric impresses me much. I cannot guarantee the goods which you can appreciate, but it is livable. It starts with a slow beginning but rises with the power and energy and I like the fast movement. It trails then to the bottom with a slow obliteration. It is like the effect Doppler of a train here and then going far. I know that what I like in your garde-robe is ordered with the lawn mower and the speech parts about the trousers and of the potato gardens. It is a piece of music very pleasant completion of interesting toothpaste and was one of them are the first blows. The fifth of the fifth is the best song on the album. The elegant banks makes a fantastic creation of the keyboards and the marvellous solo by Steve Hackett on the guitar has me flight with eggs and bird's nests. More imbecile I is right empty spaces. But it becomes better when we go to the battle of the forest of Epping, a walking piece of historical substance. It becomes complicated and I like times of signature everywhere. Rutherford makes low nice. The second best song is last of this seminal progressive work, the exposure of cinema. It beats me foolish with its astonishing keyboard by elegant Banks and Phil Collins eats its drums. With my ears, it is my best memory and with the fifth of the fifth. The genesis would not have another album as this always still as the lamb is downwards on Broadway would miss senselessness soup and passing by again logicians of council. An incredibly important work of progressive rock in the worlds and deserves holds five us the first role that all likes to see.--JB

I think this review is absolutely inspired - either somebody used an online translator with unintentionally hilarious results, or the ghost of James Joyce has started reviewing prog albums. Either way, I look forward to further commentaries on prog classics from this unique perspective!

Posted 5:14:30 PM EST, 2/1/2006

5 stars   What am I hear!!! MIGHTY symphonic textures, wery well virtuoso guitar play, clever song write!!! Why nobody hasn't telled me this before? This Is MASTERPIECE! wich everyone should to be listen..... were you old shcool symphonic progressive, RIO, canternbury, prog metal or folk listener.... this haves all! GREAT MUSICS! Her guitar play remind me bit of JOHN PETRUCCI, MCLAUGHING, HOLDSWORTH, .... and keyboard maybe JOHN RUDESS?? Drummer is really

It was luck to be stumble on this! By hearing sample from web site i was astonish but ass i ordered cd and listened it.... GOOD GOD WHAT EXPERIENCE! This CD grow on you!

My favorite song.... must be "GOTHIC CASTLE" wich have great goth feeling... schreeching metal quitar and great solo parts... could be from bestest horrour movie! But all song are great and the unity of cd is marvellously whole!

PROGRESSIVE!!!!! KEEP IT REAL!!!

Whad?!?! You not have it yet! Go buy it im mediately!
 
Y'know...far be it from me to make fun of ANYONE's online translation attempts, but someone should tell this person that the guitarists' name is John McLaughlin, and the keyboardist in question is JORDAN Rudess.

Syz, I thought initially it could be a problem with the on-line translator but the real fun appears at the track titles which are normally not translated; 'More imbecile I' is anthological.  

IMO, only someone with a great knowledge of English could do it.

2 stars   I don't really have much to say, I heard it was a good album but just don't agree, a whole lot of fluffy [&*!#] and not much good musi.THis music just doesn't seem to have any heart and soul. Also, very cliche lyrics, a problem that plagues most modern prog and boring guitar riffs.

Yep. One of the most original AND emotional albums of the past 10 years perhaps, "not having any heart or soul". I must have been listening to the wrong record...!

But anyway - it still is an opinion. And opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one (Dirty Harry).

PORCUPINE TREE In Absentia
Review (Permanent link) by Hugues Chantraine @ 2:58:30 AM EST, 2/24/2004

SPECIAL COLLABORATION

3 stars  —  As good as the previous studio album Lightbulb ( I don't agree with the band's commercial policy of flooding their fans of those weird compilations or other releases so I only discovered the full fledge albums and will dicuss only those). I saw them doing most of this album in their last tour and I must say that this stuff has a life of its own on stage.

Y'know...I hate to be a bitch and tip over a sacred cow....but this review (by a COLLABORATOR, no less) doesn't say a lick about the album.  WHY is it three stars?  He also mentions a live show he saw, but doesn't say anything else.

1 stars   It's absurd!!!!!!!!!!! This crap called Genesis' ranked first and KC's "In the Court of the Crimson King" in 7th. And what is worst: GG's Octopus ranked 25th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is nonsense... Phil Collins' voice ls even worst than my grandmother's and I certainly can play drums better than he does (my granny too).

GENESIS "Foxtrot"
Review (Permanent link) by Genesis Saboteur
Posted 5:11:07 PM EST, 2/2/2006

1 stars   Here I come again, trying to make this rank more respectable and bringing Genesis where it deserves to be: DOWN!!!!!!! I love most of 70's prog bands but Genesis is a misdeveloped fectus. You'd have to pay me to make me listen to this trash. Watcher of the Skies has a good begining but then... it messes it all when Mr. Phil Collins start singing... wait, is that singing?
 
 
 
 
 
What a fectus. He obviously never heard Foxtrot or was too self-obsessed with his Mr. Phil Collins hatred to notice it was Mr. Gabriel singing there.

5 stars   I think that selling England by book is very marvellous. It is not as good as foxtrot and of the crimes of seedbed, but it is always one of best of all the hour, in the top of the twenty-five things. I like to listen it by eating pizza pie with a table of picnic. Gabriel has its voice to do a nice work and the load of lyric impresses me much. I cannot guarantee the goods which you can appreciate, but it is livable. It starts with a slow beginning but rises with the power and energy and I like the fast movement. It trails then to the bottom with a slow obliteration. It is like the effect Doppler of a train here and then going far. I know that what I like in your garde-robe is ordered with the lawn mower and the speech parts about the trousers and of the potato gardens. It is a piece of music very pleasant completion of interesting toothpaste and was one of them are the first blows. The fifth of the fifth is the best song on the album. The elegant banks makes a fantastic creation of the keyboards and the marvellous solo by Steve Hackett on the guitar has me flight with eggs and bird's nests. More imbecile I is right empty spaces. But it becomes better when we go to the battle of the forest of Epping, a walking piece of historical substance. It becomes complicated and I like times of signature everywhere. Rutherford makes low nice. The second best song is last of this seminal progressive work, the exposure of cinema. It beats me foolish with its astonishing keyboard by elegant Banks and Phil Collins eats its drums. With my ears, it is my best memory and with the fifth of the fifth. The genesis would not have another album as this always still as the lamb is downwards on Broadway would miss senselessness soup and passing by again logicians of council. An incredibly important work of progressive rock in the worlds and deserves holds five us the first role that all likes to see.--JB

It is a work of genuine class but it has been deleted....although we will be able to marvel at it's cleverness in this area for time immemorial...

this guy is not even trying to hide himself, look at the name he chose!!!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
