Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I see that you are digging Hiromi recently. TELARC is a label devoted to classical music in my experience. I never heard anything by Hiromi : what does it sound like ? A modern days Keith Emerson ? Which album would you recommend ? I saw some low-priced albums in a megastore, so I would like to know if it's worth buying.

Her album, Time Control, is an excellent modern fusion album with very original and top-notch instrumental playing. The album has a very Proggy sound too, due to the notable reminiscensce to Gentle Giant's weird complexity.
Highly recommended if you're a fan of jazz rock/fusion,.

I'm not really sure. It's really difficult for me to rate an album in which I know it's musically top-notch and original, but besides that I don't get much from it.
Probably 4 stars or maybe 5, like I said, I'm not sure  .

That's a very good case of a "four."

It is clearly a case where I would place "objectivity" over "subjectivity".
I mean, it's clearly a hell-of a Eclectic Prog album, but the issue that it reminds me a lot to the British Prog bands doesn't make me enjoy it that much. Though I'm not saying they copied the UK bands or anything, since they were contemporary.

This makes no sense. All ratings are subjective.

Yes, they are wrong, but you are just using the ones everyone else has been using!
On a different note, you are tempting me to check out some Hiromi.

I'm a bit sceptical that you'll like her music, well Time Control at least. Because you were right when you said in that thread where I posted the videos of her in which you said the compositions weren't really strong, that they just were unrelated ideas sticked together(or something in that vein).
However, besides that flaw, I find 7 tunes out of the 9 that there are in the album, really exceptional so 4 stars would really do.
