And that you have absolutely right to do without no-one right to complaining about it!! I also listen mostly 60-70 stuff, there are just so much great stuff and although I think few great albums came last year, you don´t really lose anything if don´t hear them! I am not reviewing much, but I just want to review something that has never reviewed, I don´t see any reason to make CC review of Court. Of course if there is just few reviews and I disagree with them, I can make review.

Is the album any good? Yes, The Butterfly Ball is a good solid four-star album and I've had the CD in my collection for a couple of years. The only reason I didn't give the album a full five-star rating is because it's not in the remotest bit proggy. It's more of an all-round good Pop/Rock album.

What I read about your review it doesn´t sound very interesting to me. Mostly the solo works of great bands players haven´t been interesting to me, but of course there are exceptions (for example Jukka Gustavson & Pekka Pohjola, also McDonald & Giles album is just great!) But anyway I think there are albums in progarchives with no reviews, I am going to review all U S Maple albums (there are not even ratings in them). Also going to add some Pekka Airaksinen´s albums and review them.

^Because it´s so great!! I want to discuss it everywhere!!

...except that I quite like Opeth´s new album, third time listening it sounded lot better than second!
