Mark’s Quick Review: Galahad’s – The Seas of Change0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. So here we are with an album with one 42 minutes song. Not sure if it's been done or not before but its the first album I have come across. There is a live Dream Theater album with one album tracked as only one song, but that's the closest I know. ‘Seas of Change’ features just the five main Galahad members plus long-term honorary member Sarah...
Mark’s Quick Review: Village in the Valley’s – Old Stories0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. This album started out promising and the subject matter is pretty interesting. A whole production of small tragic stories that appeared in a little fictional village in a valley, and Nightrider was the song that would start and spread (according to the tale) evil across the village. The third track about a Step father raping his step daughter who becomes...
Mark’s Quick Review: Greg Lake’s – Live in Piacenza0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. The sad thing for me is the only time I saw Greg Lake play was in Ringo Starr's All Star band. This concert recorded in Italy back in 2012. Hearing this album just makes that a more sad fact. This is an extremely well recorded and well executed live disk. Greg's voice albeit different after 40 years is powerful and emotional. Lake was joined for...
Mark’s Quick Review: Organized Chaos’ – Divulgence0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. This Belgrade-based progressive metal band has found some magic with this release. In part to Lalić’s vocals who vocals who I find to be as pleasing as Mariusz Duda's vocals. Cinnamon which is the strongest track on this album has some of the most interesting changes I have heard all year and a very epic ending. Haken's Richard Henshall does a...
Mark’s Quick Review: Spriggan Mist’s – The Portal0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. This album is a nice folk album. But here I am at new.progrock.com/ and I have to rate it on my prog sensibilities. So if you are looking for a nice folk album with some prog leanings this album is for you. I do see some of my prog friends liking this band on facebook so I think prog fans would like this album like I do. If I had any criticisms it would be...
Mark’s Quick Review: Dead Centuries’ – Race Against Time0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. This Ottawa band has a few moments that I like but not that many. This is much better than my review will give them credit for. This is really for fans of a three piece metal instrumental band. This is for fans of Liquid Tension Experiment. Which by the way I was not a huge fan of. So let me just say this quality album will suffer from my narrow mindedness...
