This is only the tip of the iceberg.

This is a bit embarassing, but I'm reporting myself. The review isn't bad, but there are many minor spelling errors (which overall are negligible) but more importantly, I had it in my mind that The Mars Volta were still considered a Post-Rock/Experimental band. The review makes less sense with me mentioning them.

Here's the link to the faulty review: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=68261

I'd prefer to have changes made to this review, which I will post below. I don't know if there are higher priorites for those with review-editing capabilities, but if not, then I'd appreciate it if these changes would be made.

Here's the revised review:

By far my favorite post-rock band, Sigur Ros challenges me to describe their type of music in one sentence. Elegantly blending classical appeal, exquisite vocals, sonorous bursts of instrumentation, and slow-building music, and the band clearly fits into the post-rock genre, by my understanding of it. The music is very refined and well thought-out, yet still has a bit of an edge, especially on the louder parts.

The music on Takk... is all very breathtaking and ethereal, keeping in line with what limited exposure I've had to their breakthrough album, Agaetis Byrjun. Though, the lyrics on Takk...--and in fact all of Sigur Ros's music--are either derivative of the Icelandic language or just plain gibberish, they flow and develop into beautiful poetry, regardless of their meaning. The music has a calming effect and is never scorched with dissonance. Much of the music is built up from a keyboard or organ base progression, but this varies also. Bells, various percussion, and a brass and string section often back up the basic setup.

Though the band can play the soft, melodic song game very well, Sigur Ros really stand out when they turn up the volume a bit and jam. "Glosoli," "Saeglopur," "Milano," and "Svo Hljott" are beautiful examples. Of the shorter songs, my favorites are the spacey introduction "Takk..." and "Gong," which, taking a diversion from the rest of the album, is fairly up-tempo with a brush-driven drum beat, yet it retains a minor key melody line.

The only reason I can't give Takk... full marks is because sometimes there isn't enough diversion from the well-traveled, slow-building, ethereal chord path. Also, depending on one's taste, the music may seem boring. But for an open-minded progger, Takk... has a lot to offer.

Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

Why is it a masterpiece?

NOVA "Vimana"

   The second work released in 1976 "Vimana". It is a sound that keeps technical and is romantic. It is an enhanced content. Cutting of the performance far surpasses the former work. There is surely a smell of an Italian rock in the melody. I feel a royal road romance. It is an indeed wonderful great board.

Should we tolerate this?

Thanks

DREAM THEATER "Images And Words "

   It's true. Dream Theater is incredible bad. Why are they called progressive? Their compositions are not complex! They're very basic! So what makes it progressive? Is it the combination of powerchords with a keyboard player. Well, the worst of all is the singer. I HATE that American progmetal style of singing. The expression is so unreal. It's so forced. The lyrics are childish and there is no real emotion. Melodic and harmonic, there is no depth. Alright, no depth, but does it sound good? Maybe a bit, but the singer makes a hell of it. And the keyboard has a plastic sound. The worst part of this album? The ballads. You may like it, if you're gay.
