Reviews that Stand Out

This has been very amusing and also very interesting alot of thought behind the posts and research.We all have our opinions and our subjectiveness at times but who the hell is elliott?Annies vocals being dismissed! I need to consult  my local shrink this is a first!

I prefer the review to the album- the review at least gave me a laugh.

It made me think a little too (no, really). I've heard that feeling expressed pretty often...that music is somehow less valid once another kind of music has supplanted it. Of course most of us here can see the silliness of that argument (good music is good music regardless of how old it is, etc.), but there are a lot of people who really do think that new music is in some way better than older music- as if a significant part of the enjoyment comes from being 'up to date'. While current pop trends don't hold much appeal for me, I confess that I like to be aware of the 'cutting edge' (I actually felt a little sheepish finding out about GYBE kinda late in the game). And while the Macarena was always horrible, wouldn't it be somehow worse to like it right now (versus ten years ago)?

There does seem to be a gray area in between current popularity and nostalgia that is almost a 'no man's land'; after the first rush has faded but before time allows you to judge something on its own merits. And time is moving more quickly now; I think MTV or VH1 is already running a show called something like "Remember the 90s"...so nostalgia is already setting in for some music that I regard as recent

Well, I guess I'm rambling. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

This is *such* a helpful review:

  —   The people who complain about this CD are morons! OK, maybe that was rude. But they may be a bit narrowminded. That's not what progressive music is all about! Progressive music should...... progress, right?? Yes it should! So what I have to say is Good record. Good songs. Good performances. Also very good production.

I never understood 'Ummagumma'.

Respected sir, I am employee of Pakistan steel. And I have 25 years experience of laboratory tests analysis

PS: Sorry for the joke, I know this poor guy is out of order, but I also know how you can feel after searching for job and not finding it.

wow, that's the best review for this thread yet. I think you should hire this guy- if his prog references check out, that is.

If I had only known, I would have posted my resume under "In Absentia"

recently graduated Veterinary students should go to "Animals" and "The Lamb lies down on Broadway"

Out-of-work scuba instructors directed to (of course) "Aqualung"

and divinity students are required to apply to the entire Genesis discography.
