I remember listening to this album when it was released in back in September 2012. Larry Kolota at Kinesiscd.com said at the time: "John has been one of IZZ's primary songwriters, and 'Real Life Is Meeting' is every bit as proggy as IZZ, but with a more personal feel, more warmth and heart energy. Hard to imagine an IZZ fan that wouldn't cherish this album too, since it seems to be the soul of IZZ that is on display. We wouldn't change a thing about it." An easy 'yes' for me in Crossover.  |
