I enjoy SFAM more than any other album of theirs and almost start to finish (a rarity), save the woeful Great Gig In The Sky rip-off before 'Through Her Eyes'. Makes me cringe every time. Good, detailed and impassioned review though- I must admit my cup never runneth over THIS much when it comes to review lengths, but I SOMETIMES make an exception for Genesis...Wink

Your SFAM review made me decide to pull out the album and listen to it for the second time ever since I  bought it (several months agoWink...). Great review indeed, even if mine tend to be much shorter (or better, tendED... I seem to have run out of ideas when it comes to reviewing albums, though I have  list as long as both my arms). However, I'm sorry to say I don't find the album equally great. I might even try my hand at reviewing it, but to be perfectly honest bashing albums I can't get into is not my way.

same here...  it was overly long and had to take a cigarette break in the process of reading it. It was well written and actually made me want to listen to it again...

My longest review is my review for Sieges Even's Steps album, at 416 words.LOL I think that's a perfect review lenght though, I rarely read those over that unless im really interested in the album.

Hell....Now how would I do it, if this one was my favorite album?
 
I doubt I will be able to top those reviews you mentioned unless I review it again. So let's erase it! Big%20smile... (just kidding, I wasn't really trying anything).

I like that you acknowledged not having referred to the music contained on the disc before your seventh paragraph. or should I say chapter? ;)

why did you invite me in particular, because I write such short reviews?
