I really loved seeing two obscurities on the front page in the courtesy of Matti.
Great albums that needs much more attention, Kestrel and Haikara's second album! I didn't know Kestrel had a reissue with bonus tracks, I'll have to look into that. Great job man!

I loved Steve's "Hand Cannot Erase" review, I think it was more emotional than the album itself (I'm still trying to get into it
 ) |

I'm with you, Sam! You know I haven't been hugely excited by `H.C.E' either, but, Steve, you wrote about it with such passion and emotion. Really glad it means so much to you.

I love the big emotions of your reviews Steve. Makes me believe that music is the most unifying form of expression....mostly because I feel the same way about music that I love.
I am a big fan of almost anything Steve Wilson puts his hands on, maybe except for Blackfield and No-Man - or maybe I just haven't found the keys yet. Hand.Cannot.Erase. is a beautiful record and I predict it ornamenting the top slot of our annual AOTY thang. You got to hand it to the guy, he obviously appeals to a very wide audience in and about prog rock circles - and we are a notoriously difficult crowd to please. Hell I love him, and that is coming from a person who most frequently listens to some pretty freaky sh*t. What more? Oh yes: Regret9  Edited by Guldbamsen - September 01 2015 at 11:05 |

I seriously am so confused by SteveG's Hand Cannot Erase review. It's so confusing. He gives it 5 stars but he hates it but he loves it but it's all sarcasm? I'm so f**kinnnng f**king confused.
Maybe that's what I love most about the review. I left with more questions than when I started.

Well, he took a leaf out of Micky's book, and his controversial review of Dream Theater's Scenes from a Memory. Personally, I've never written a 5-star review of an album I hate (I try not to review albums I dislike altogether), but I can see why both of them did.

I enjoyed SteveG''s well written review of Wilson's Hand.Cannot.Erase. ,but for me it's not a 5 star album...for me 4 stars..maybe. I don't hear anything here that he hasn't done before and better imho.

Really loved Michael's review of Glass Hammer's "The Breaking of the World". Great job Michael!
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=1458270 Your comments about wanting to see more of them doing a little bit more jazzy interplay instrumentals is something I would love to see also as well as vocals from Susie Bogdanowicz. The elevator song is classic. I need to revisit this album since I only gave it less than a handful of listens when I bought it. Like most of their albums, it takes a few listens to appreciate them. I have about 3/4s of their albums and most of their work, IMHO, is in the solid 4 to upper 3 ratings, with a couple flirting with that elusive 5. I still keep waiting for them to just absolutely knock one out of the park. |

It reads more like a mockery of the prior review for that album if you ask me, especially going by the first sentence. Like trying to start a flamewar on the first page or something.

Not a new review, but I stumbled on another one of Dave's expressive reviews on Ulver's black album
