Aye.
By the same measuring:
Pawn Hearts = x 2000
H To He = x 1500
World Record = x 750
Still Life =  x 27
|
Godbluff = 1000 pnts Still Life = 950 pnts Pawn Hearts = 850 pnts tLwCdiWteO = 800 pnts H to He = 700 pnts World Record = ... 300 pnts.

What I don't understand with TMTDA is why Tillison is the only official musician and the rest are guests. I, instead of Stolt, would have said "guests? okay then. we'll leave and let's see if you can pull the same good album by just playing keyboards!".
P.S @ James: Stolt doesn't sing. Manning does.

Stolt does too

Just remember though:
Roine Stolt cannot sing.
Jaxon isn't on the other albums.
However, the dude who replaces him is excellent and replaced Elton Dean in Soft Machine Legacy.

I actually prefer Stolt to Froberg.

Doesn't really hurt me. The more people don't appreciate WR at its full, the more I can enjoy that I'm a particular fan of it.
|
Man I dopn't get that album. It feels so lackluster after the emotional powerhouse of Still Life. Pilgrims sends chills down my spine every time
|
So does to me, it's the rest that I don't get what's so beautiful. WR may feel toothless, but it's got the same VdGG inspiration, spirit, etc., neither light, neither full dark, neither completely emotional, neither bitter, but fully transmiting emotions and sounding ravishing.

Most critics seem to complain more about Tillison's voice instead of Stolt's. I enjoy both of them so take that for what it is worth. These days I'd say probably pennies on the dollar.

I like them both although a lot of people say Tillison can't sing.

Theo Travis is also excellent and worthy replacement for Jaxon.

 Seriously not building this for my kittens. --- The last part of TMTDA is weaker.

Yes. It's still better than much of what has been released this year.  I think it's third in my list, Victor.

If anything, Jaxon needs to sound like he's strangling his cat more on that album.

I know that, I'm monitoring your top.  Well I wouldn't put it in the top if it gave me " " feelings. It's around 50th in my top.
