The same guy who did that review of The Bends. The irony is that he loves The Flower Kings and Transatlantic..

I find 4th review very offensive, I liked return to the Center of the Earth.

GENTLE GIANT — Totally Out Of The Woods

Review by tomerikloe

5 stars If you only gonna buy one gentle giant album, make it this one. Recorded at the BBC, sound quality is superb. All of the songs they play (except for the first 2) are brilliant, clever, strange and full of suprises, Long live progrock!!

GENTLE GIANT — Totally Out Of The Woods

Review by jimbkob

5 stars EXCELLENT!

SUPERB SOUND QUALITY

SUPERB ARRANGEMENTS OF OLD SONGS

SUPERB PERFORMANCE

If you like any GG (and if you don't, then why are you reading this?) then you CANNOT go wrong with this album. It's a live album with the best of both worlds: impovisation and spontaneity in the songs AND excellent sound quality!

Will not disappoint any GG fan.

Both seems shallow. Ermm

MARS VOLTA, THE — Amputechture
Review by ayfalcon

5 stars Well when i first herd it i felt a bit weird because their sound reminded me of yes, genesis, and rush (which i absolutely love!). Even though there some hints of the bands i mentio, hey still manage to keep their sound fresh compare to what's out today. Anyways this album is absolutely a master piece and probably the best of all time for progressive rock. And like the first reviewer said it leaves you with a crave for more.

Favorite tracks: All of them!

And thus it begins

There's another one before it, a great review by Ben but...

Can't you just lock it from reviewing until the release date not to repeat the mistake with Octavarium and 10,000 days?

SOFT MACHINE — Third
Review by Easy Livin (Bob McBeath)
ADMIN Forum Moderator & Reviews Manager

Turds

So what’s all the fuss about then? I have to admit up front that trad jazz (along with rap) is about the only type of music I just do not like.

I first heard this album in the early 70’s and thought it was dreadful. My tastes have “matured” somewhat since then, so I bought the album on CD thinking that I must have missed something way back then. Unfortunately, I hadn’t, it’s still dreadful.

Setting aside “Moon in June” for the moment, there is nothing remotely musical here. All there is rambling free form jazz, with no form or structure. It’s hard to tell at times whether any of the band are actually capable of playing their instruments, so disjointed is the overall sound. “Moon in June” does have suggestions of a tune. It would be an exaggeration to call it the best track, it’s not really good enough to warrant such an accolade, but it is better than the others.

Soft Machine are usually branded as part of the Canterbury sound, but to do so is a gross insult to the likes of Caravan and Camel.

This member should be banned!

I know that tastes differ but calling them turds...?

I am at the mercy of the court. Should I remove the word? (It is a reference to the msuic, not the band!)

I'm anxiously awaiting the verdict since I have used 'turd' to describe the music in at least three of my own reviews...

The Dream Theater reviews on the first page seem highly inappropriate.

^^^This looks like it could be cause for more than just a little concern. Somebody is seriously after Tony.

How to they find a way to post under someone elses name anyway?

The name is not exactly the same, the real Tony has a space between Tony and R.
