Yeah Michael. Not all TD albums are good; in fact, some are quite lousy. I just don't have the heart or the tact to lambaste an album in a full-fledged review, so yeah it's an interesting read i found as well. Cheers mate. And FYI your reviews are still wonderful. Keep writing them and I shall keep reading them. Your contributions are amazing and I personally really appreciate it. Prog on. |

Top notch review of a mostly rubbish album from Stalvern, Tangerine Dream's `Tyranny of Beauty' that I totally agree with! Very well written with some great observations, especially about The Orb's `Orbus Terrarum':

Thanks Alex, it was a pleasure to review it. It was the ReR Sampler that led me to this band.

Excellent review by John for This Heat's album Deceit. A must album indeed.

Thanks to all of the above for the encouraging words, which I might never have read if a little bird (from Boston, with a taste for heavy German Prog) hadn't mentioned this thread... No wonder my ears were burning lately...or maybe it was just my recent exposure to the Goat song Det Som Aldrig Förändras, played loud enough during a family road trip to cause marital strife (!) |

tarkus1980's review of Heaven & Earth is one of the best one-star reviews I've read.

agreed, and he always provides a fresh perspective. He and I have had many PM discussions and love to compare notes, especially when we disagree!

I remember reading his review of Trout Mask Replica - laughing like a wee school girl a good hour after
 He is a lot of things besides funny though, and he always manages to cut straight to the core of the music.

FragileKings did a good review of PRR's brilliant debut album.
Nice explanations and comparisons, perfect length, and i agree with the ratings. |

Thanks, I´m glad you found the review helpful. I´m actually not a huge fan myself, but that doesn´t mean I can´t hear when something reeks class. My personal The Ocean favorite is probably: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=19047 I need to make serious edits to my review someday, because it´s one of my early reviews and quite frankly it´s not very well written. |

Great reviews from Thomas (Neo and Consorzio Acqua Potabile). I always liked reading your reviews buddy and this time your enthusiasm won me over, I'll have to get those albums now.

I want to thank UMUR for his review of The Ocean's Anthropocentric! The anti-religion concept and comparison to Between The Buried And Me got me interested immediately. I am now listening to the previous album, Heliocentric (part 1 of which Anthropocentric is part 2) and I am really liking it! Nice balance of clean and harsh vocals, mellow and heavy instrumentation, and good lyrics. I think I will be making some purchases soon!
