CLASSIC MUSIC!

To listen to "Tubular Bells" puts some questions. In fact this is not Rock music, but Classic Music. Besides even if after a lot of listening we did not decipher the musical genre not not we can recognize that "Tubular Bells" is however big music. I am carried to believe that the previous experiences of Mike have had a very high weight to make to be born this masterpiece, even if today is not then that is so present. Here, it is not surpassed, the concept stays valid, but I believe that no today would have been dreamt to compose a like disc. To the period itself and this is its large merit.

I concludesay that this CD should be introduced this CD in the Classic Music and not in Rock Music. Only so it appreciates this attractive music.

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

In a few and simple words - this is a must have not only for Colosseum fans, but for all those who enjoy in jazz-rock magic. The first part of this DVD contains120 minutes of pure musical delight bringing good old tunes played in such a superb manner that you could easily get to a conclusion that something is wrong with this DVD cover showing photos of some aged gentlemen. But the ecstasy is coming in the second DVD part which is a documentary of Colosseum's golden era (now almost 35 years ago) covering all relevant moments in this band's life. I bought this DVD two years ago and I sincerely admit that I'm spinning it regularly few times a year, enjoying in every moment.

I was dissapointed.I expected more out of this album. Dont get me wrong its a decent album but i thought it could be so much better. The best songs are The title track and the last one. Its not the worst album ever. But there are much better out there in trems of prog.

It seems like everyone here is a FIVE-star kinda' guy or a ONE/TWO-star kinda' guy. Let me tell you why. 'Complex time signatures' and 'soundscapes', don't make a band 'progressive.' Lots of genres have those two, so? You can think tool is progressive rock all you want, but you're just sucked in by that bald man's unusual not-so-sexy voice which just so happens to be rare. People seem to think as long as they like a metal band, they are progressive metal now. Tool is unique, but not progressively unique, different does not equal progressive. Other than the drummer, I find the music useless and overly atheist (Nothing against atheist beliefs). It's the same story every song, it's the same story every album. There is no evolution from one album after the next. It seems once Tool hit Aenima, that was the peak (Not that I liked Aenima either way). I feel bad for the drummer, he has to put up with a dull bass player and an even more dull guitar player who just so happens to make every 'progressive metal' song sound like an ordinary modern metal song. Even if this were progressive I might only give it two or three stars. To tell you the truth I was bored with tool after three or four listens from each of their albums. I would much rather listen to Dream Theater (regardless of how progressive DT is now). There's not a lot I can do about how boring this band is, how anti-religion Maynard is, or about all the wasted time (In my opinion) all the whiney teenagers have spent listening to this group. But I suppose it's perspective everyone, whatever makes you all happy - go for it, I guess? But for me, I can't stand by and listen to the same song from one track to the next over and over again. It's a matter of lack of style (Once again, my opinion), I feel as if one song never ends, and their whole career is just that, one song. A group with a progressive style would mean from one album to the next there's new things to offer (Every Tool album seems to be a clone of the past one, just put in with a different mixture of chords and atheist/angsty lyrics, which he probably writes in his sleep). A progressive band in our modern day, for example, could be "The Flower Kings", every song is almost like a subgenre on "Space Revolver." It was an experience, The only song I remotely liked on "Lateralus" was "Parabola." And I still feel as if I've wasted my time, arguing against irrational non- progressive children on a website designed for people who enjoy progressive rock/metal/etc.

I have never heard this album as of yet....but I would like to, because one of the members of this band, Bradley Styes, is my cousin! I never knew his band was on progarchives.com! I definitely need to check out this album! I'm giving it five stars just because Brad has pursued his dreams long enough. Good job, man!

Why did they even bother?

Funny thing is, Ray Wilson actually has a good voice, but it would've been better utilized elsewhere. The songs are so generic and uninspired, not mention quite forgettable.

Pass

MANIC DEPRESSION!

I did not understood the reason of this Tribute Album. Actual no there I succeed! Useless, cold, calculator... An album for does spend money and other nothing!

Nevertheless resonable they are the version of "I Can See For Miles", "I Don't Need No Doctor", "A Salty Dog", "Manic Depression" and "Wishing Well" that do not suffice to make off an album however useless. And here I close.

I do not words.

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.
