I ordered Into The Night just before we left for Wisconsin, so it's probably waiting for me back home. We leave Sunday, so I'll get to hear it then.

The best is still Collage's Moonshine, but Into the Night is the best Satellite IMO ------------- To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica) |

I ran down to the office to grab it, but noticed that the little sticker on the shrink wrap has a Prog Archives quote ("The Album Of The Year"). About ready to give 'er a spin. E -------------

| of the first 2, it's Evening Games which has no weak tracks. I should have "Into the Night" soon and will vote a week or two after that, with time to asorb their usual dense and satisfying mix. It was released first in Europe. Does anyone know how it's doing from a commercial standpoint? |

For those here in America, Greg Walker has the new one in stock and is ready to ship. I have gotten through all but the last song and this, indeed, could be the best one. I'll have to let it sink in some more, though. E -------------

The only one I've heard is "Into the Night" and I was less than impressed. In my opinion it's just typical neo-prog. Been there heard that... I'll give it a few more listens, but I can't understand the high ratings... |

just did my review of Into the Night. As someone who gave 5 stars to Evening Games and would give at least 4, possibly 5, to A Street, it's a disappointing 3 stars. They are sounding too much like all the other aggressive groups, where their underlying gentleness and melodiousness is getting drowned out by macho riffs and one dimensional guitar solos, and the lyrics are uninspiring. But enough, you can read my review

Into the Night is awesome but I can't get tired of A Street Between Sunrise And Sunset. Think it is their best. ------------- Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. Salvador Dali. |

I don't know if this is just a phase, but I'm starting to sour on Satellite. I really liked their sound when I first bought Street and Games; however, I had the new one on the other night and it's so....light. It's almost too sugary sweet. I'm going to have to listen to the new one again, but every song is beginning to sound the same to me. It's a pity because I used to really like these guys. E -------------

funny that we both aren't thrilled with it, but I think it is too heavy. I do agree that there is a sameness to the songs, but that is mostly because of Sarhan's monolithic guitar solos. |

I think it's a pretty tough call between their first and last album. To me it's obvious that Evening Games is the least of the three. I voted for their debut because the overall sound is very pleasant and I'm not to sure with Into the Night there. But nevertheless Into the Night is another sensational album by them.
By the way:I called them NEW KINGS OF NEO PROG in my review. Anybody agrees ? (or disagree ?) ------------- A day without prog is a wasted day |
