Do you think that The Anders is a Beatles' fanboy?

Thank you siLLy and Meltdowner, I will endeavor to keep up the good work, and spread the word on RPI! (finally seeing PFM for the first time in the flesh last summer outdoors in a tiny fortified hilltown in Tuscany reignited a four decade love affair with RPI!)

Actually the review doesn't matter, but its author... Nice to see Bob (Easy Livin) is back in town!
He didn't visit the forum since 2014 though. Don't know whether he plans to show up here.

Couldn't help but notice your location. Have you by any chance seen my dear aunt Lavinia? She's gone missing. |

Lazland, I liked your review of Resistance. A majority of the reviews just come off as IQ yes-men who barely actually talk about the music and essentially just say "Album good." You actually got a spine and were able to point out the obvious flaws. With Road Of Bones every second of that album was memorable, on Resistance I can barely tell one song from another.

It was a fantastic read for me. Steve is a great reviewer and truly loves IQ, but as he said he doesn’t bow to anyone or anything for the sheer admiration of the band. Personally I think he makes some terrific points. |

Thank you, gentlemen, I really appreciate these comments, especially as I am getting back into reviewing after quite a long break away from it.
One thing is for sure - writing reviews and in threads like this is a damned sight more satisfying to my personal wellbeing than Covid comments!

for siLLy puPPy's review of the new Oranssi Pazuzu album - very evocative.
After Varahtelija and last year's Waste of Space Orchestra platter if they put out an album of Harry Belafonte covers I would probably buy it. Yet I didn't know this was out! |

I'm just finishing Circle of Illusions's album after reading Sagi's review. Seriously, how is this not a modern Prog classic?

^ Yeah, not enough ratings or reviews for an album with such high quality, i'm glad you managed to grasp on that

^ I'm not a fan of the genre but I really enjoyed this album You can hear there was a lot of time and effort on those compositions and arrangements. It's so neatly produced too, not overcompressed nor flat. Even with low quality streaming it sounded great on my studio monitors.

Funny how subjective music appreciation is, for me "Il Banchetto" is the best song on "Per Un Amico".

^ I always love his reviews, always reads something something like this:
Song 1: Excellent song, no complaints. Rate 9+ Song 2: Even better then song 1, possibly the best ever made. Rate 10 Song 3: Personally cured me of all ills and bad feelings. Rate 9
In conclusion, I rate this album 9.5/10, rounding down to 2 stars In his book, you really gotta earn that damn 5th star! |
