ROMANTIC WARRIOR

ok alot of people will probably say some of this is very unlistenable, but the thing with certain bands is the single fact that you have to immerse yourself in what they are doing at the time, and thats what i do every time i listen to this group. Chick plays his unique, crisp odd phrases, stanley one of my fav. players busts out some of the funkiest and most unique solo lines i have ever heard and uses a vast array of techniques and effects, lenny cranks out complex totally expressive rhythms with a really different sense of rhythm that intrigues me and al plays soaring epic lines, quick dual lines in conjunction with chick, and just flat out very well for his age at this time period.

Album highlights are the super groovy "the magician", the spacey epic intro and verse to the romantic warrior and the odd phrases and lines in the dual of the jester and the tyrant. I am only an eighteen year old so i am probably more open minded about stuff like this than alot of people around here, considering that my tastes are totally rooted in prog. metal/rock, fusion, and spacey avant garde albums kind of like this.
