"Colin Newman's production (and you can definitely tell it's him) can't overcome Gavin Friday's all-over-the-place vocals, but... there are "moments." RIYL The Fall, The Misfits, Alien Sex Fiend, bands of that nature."  Reply

"Although personally this is not my favorite album from them, this is definitely a great album. The band took a different direction in their next albums, but this shows a solid and consistent album through each one of the tracks. Mom In Love, Daddy In Space, Lampshade and Graceland, are my top tra..."  [+]  Reply

"Hard to believe it's Art Blakey on the first and third tracks; he's playing like an ordinary studio drummer. Very odd, it's like hiring Jimi Hendrix and having him strum gently in the background. Other than that, all the musicians are killing it, particularly Lee Morgan. The track J.O.S. is a gre..."  [+]  Reply

"Mestarin Kynsi succeeds in its variance. The long time lengths allow for the songs to move in interesting and diverse directions. Each track is granted a unique structure and instrumentation. "Uusi Teknokratia" mixes synths, guitars and pan flute into a ten minute epic. On a less favorable note, ..."  [+]  Reply

"Any artist should learn from this master on how to improvise if you forget lines. Listen to How High the Moon, but more so Mack the Knife - she never fails to make me smile with this track."  Reply

"have to say, if anything Dream Theater is incredibly talented. More specifically, John Petrucci is incredibly talented. It amazes me how well he plays the guitar and how well he arranges most of Dream Theater’s music. The music here is very good. Great string arrangements over some really cool gu..."  [+]  Reply
