Disconnect - "Indivision" [2011]

All requested promo copies of 'Indivision' have been sent out.  I still need to send out copies of some of our earlier work to those who have asked for them...just haven't had the time yet.  Will try to get to that soon.  Thanks again to all who are taking the time to listen.

PM sent 

thanks to all who have taken the time to listen to "Indivision" and rate/review it for us.  Still looking for more review traffic, as always.

In other news, we of Disconnect are currently working on a new album.  Two tracks in process thus far...one of which is currently exceeding 18 minutes in length. 

As I mentioned in our message Erich, a Collaborator's review is worth 20 times the amount of some drive-by, so while its still not excusable and a pain in everyone's hairy posterior, it doesn't cause nearly as much damage as they may hope it does. 

Thank you to everyone who took the time to both listen to our music and to write a review. Erich and I are but a humble duo and have no delusions of grandeur (or off the charts record sales!); however, it is nice to receive thoughtful reactions to what we do.

Thanks again, folks!

Yeah....I guess it's something the mods can't really police effectively.  It still stinks that there are people who do this sort of thing because they find it amusing for whatever reason. 

Ironically the guy who gave us our latest "driveby 1-star rating" also gave the new Dream Theater album a 1-star rating....despite the fact that album doesn't come out until SEPTEMBER.

Thanks Sheavy.....thanks to you as well, Conor!

on another topic...can any PA members enlighten me to this whole concept of "driveby" 1-star ratings?  I've seen our new album get a couple of these 'driveby' 1-star ratings and am quite puzzled.  If someone despises an album enough to give it only 1-star....can they not back it up with a text review to show us all why they think it is so bad?

Also it seems the PA members who have given us (and other Crossover Prog artists on PA) these driveby 1-star ratings are the same people who give 5-star ratings to every Experimental/Post-Metal and Tech/Extreme Prog Metal album out there. 

So the obvious question that comes to mind is.....if you're obviously not a fan of Crossover Prog and your tastes are diametrically opposite to that genre -- why bother posting ratings for that genre at all if your only intention is to bash?    Driveby 1-star ratings can really kill the momentum for an indie prog band who might have otherwise been able to attract some curious listeners.

I can completely respect anyone's opinion if they feel that the album is really only worth 1-star....provided they have the conviction to back up that 1-star rating with an actual review, explaining why it deserved that rating.  At least then we can be sure they actually took the time to listen.

....end of rant....sorry, folks.  Just needed to get that off my chest....

Will do.

Listening now.

In the interest of generating more review activity, I've uploaded a 320kbps rip of "Indivision" to Mediafire where anyone willing to give it a try can download the whole album for free - and in better quality than the audio available here at PA.  The streaming feed here at PA doesn't really do the album justice in terms of sound quality....in my humble opinion.
