IGRA STAKLENIH PERLI — Inner Flow
Review by quickbeam

3%20stars A piece of past worth listening today...

".....the game flies into the ether without a tether to reality. In our world, prayer beads and the repetition of simple phrases serve as keys to transcendence.....

"...the game is played only with abstract, spoken formulas. The audience's appreciation of a good game draws on its appreciation of both music and mathematical elegance." Hermann Hesse "Das Glasperlenspiel"

interesting style, but:

  1. repeated reviews (and it's confusing for which the quotes were intended)
  2. hardly confident album/music appreciation

Not exactly a bad review... Its just that his tracklist must have been screwed up, as most of his song descriptions don't fit the track he's supposedly describing. Perhaps he could be given a ring as to edit it?

This guy is just bashing the fact that Mastodon is on PA and that they dont sound like DT or PoS. A bad review that doesnt review the music at all.

 
This review was discussed here... and kept. Smile

^Indeed...
RUSH — Counterparts
Review by SnakePlisken

5%20stars Superb songwriting throughout make CP one of Rush's best records. Standout tracks include every tune of the ablum. This is not an album; however, for Rush/prog purists. Prog masterpieces are nowhere to found on this recording. Tight little hard rock/prog twist songs make up the matter of this album and it is only with repeated listening that the true brilliance of what they are going is finally achieved in the intricacies of the intenste musicianship and sound that goes into making this one of the most underrated recordings in the Rush pantheon. CP is an excellent album release by a band that continues to shatter general expectations from a bunch of "fans" who want them to record Fly by Night and 2112 over and over until they croak.

RUSH — Power Windows
Review by SnakePlisken

5%20stars Superb songwriting throughout make Power Windows one of Rush's best records. Standout tracks include almost every tune of the ablum. This is not an album; however, for Rush/prog purists. Prog masterpieces are nowhere to found on this recording. Tight little hard rock/prog twist songs make up the matter of this album and it is only with repeated listening that the true brilliance of what they are going is finally achieved in the intricacies of the intenste musicianship and sound that goes into making this one of the most underrated recordings in the Rush pantheon. PW is an excellent album release by a band that continues to shatter general expectations from a bunch of "fans" who want them to record Farewell to Kings and 2112 over and over until they croak.

 
I've heard of reviewer consistency, but this is ridiculous!!LOL

On the front page there are three reviews of Rush albums which are almost identical. Only one option I think...........................
