I've Listen to the Lst Bright Light and felt boreness. It sounds repetitive and as "good" as a best of vol. 2 from the Alan Parsons Project (despite the different sound, of course. I'm talking about the "effect" that their music makes on me).

I can1't judge them as a live act, but watching them on the Inside Pink Floyd DVD ( an awful piece of cr*p that my wife gave me trying to be seductive) makes me think about the feel coldness of certains musicians that are technically good - even brilliant.

I can't recommend this band to anyone as the salvation of prog rock, neither as a good carbon copy of any giant.

Probably better starting point is one of their live DVDs, for example, "The Story So Far...". IMO band's live shows have more energy than their studio efforts. Listen to their music more carefully - though influences are evident, MA sound is unique.

They're great. Heather is the best singer I've ever heard.
I don't understand the comparison with Floyd, they're totally different. While Mr. Waters can't write about anything else than how bad the world is, Mostly autumn gives us a spell of positivity.

I was listening to them last night, I was enjoying it but I couldn`t stop thinking to myself that something was wrong with their sound , I realised that its their drummer they need more a musical type drummer who can play tuned percusion and excite the music with some differant time signatures. To be honest their drummer is their downfall in my mind Embarrassed

If you think they're boring, go to their section, find the downloads and hit Heroes Never Die. If that doesn't move you, call the undertaker, because you're already dead. Unforgettable, exquisitely beautiful (even if Bryan Josh isn't the best singer on the planet).

Personally, I don't think they're ANYTHING like Floyd, though Wright and Gilmour are huge fans.

Gilmour too? Only knew about Wright...
BTW, Masque, what did you hear? They've had, I believe, three different drummers so far. Blackmore was probably the least bad of the three...
