SR VI: Incident Free since 2008

You'll surely surpass me in reviews. I don't know when/if I'll write again.

I went only at first with the "albums we like more", then started focusing on the discography, then simply went with what I had unreviewed in the house. By that time, I actually couldn't tie two sentences together about the albums I loved most, too precioussss.

I practically have music for another 1000 reviews.

I know many people don't think much of it (I rated Test for Echo a four, by the way), but if you read the review, I think you might see why I love it so much. Well, I can certainly see where you're coming from.  And there are some pretty great songs on there, despite the fact that the whole thing is sonic mud as you alluded to (compression, etc.).  I still can't believe they let the songs be butchered like that.  No excuse. Anyways, very good rock album, not a masterpiece of progressive rock - not even close in my book. You know Pat, that's just something I had to forgive I guess, but then again, "production" is a low factor on the totem pole- Nursery Cryme is terrible in that respect, but is an amazing album in terms of composition (which is what I tend to look for more).

Certainly when the music is great one can overlook production/sound issues - ultimately, the problem for me is that the songs just didn't stick out and/or weren't memorable for me.  I still prefer the best tracks from Test for Echo to anything from Vapor Trails (although VT overall is probably a better album - a lot of tracks from TfE didn't stand the test of time); and certainly I vastly prefer both Counterparts and Snakes & Arrows to VT, using the most recent Rush output (even though Counterparts is far from recent now).

I don't know what's got into trolls with Phideaux. Don't they have DT to focus on?

Happiness iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis the roach.

Even I have experienced such- someone who I am almost certain has NEVER heard my album (my fan base is that small ) rated my album with a three, but no review.

Me....


















J/K.

Possible renames - Epignosis Fan Club; Trolling for Phideaux; Henry's Been Deported So Pat Is In Charge.

Actually, knowing you and your tastes, you would rate me a one.
