Mark’s Quick Reviews: Five of the Eyes (5otE)’s – The Venus Transit0 (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. I had a chance to see this band, but they were up against Schooltree at ProgtoberFest so I missed them. Later their album showed up here. In Five of the Eye's message it read, "for fans of Mars Volta" which led me to be intrigued and, let me tell you, this album delivered. This is the album I always wanted Mars Volta to make. I really only...
Mark’s Quick Reviews: Sonic Sight – Anthropology0 (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. Norway's FINN ARILD is a mutli-instrumentalist and has put together a new band called Sonic Sight. This debut album has some moments on there but I think I have to give a pass on this album. The vocals are modulated so it sounds like a 45 minute version of Genesis' Cuckoo Cocoon. The end of the album redeems this for me and I look forward to...
Mark’s Quick Reviews: Penna’s – Sublevels0 (0)

This is New York multi-instrumentalist David Penna's second release of his progressive hard rock project PENNA. This EP was written and performed entirely by David Penna. The first album is not as progressive and is less dark than PENNA’s 2016 debut Chemical God. The 20 minutes of music here is decent and would appeal to anyone that likes heavier yet...

Patrick Talbot's brain child, Ghostly Beard's third album, is close but no cigar. I found some passages interesting enough to me to want to hear the next album but I am afraid I have to give this album a pass. I think the first and last song pass as average, but the middle....well lets just say this is no Oreo of an album. [usrlist "PREVIOUS...
Mark’s Quick Reviews: Knight Area’s – Heaven and Beyond0 (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 is the first album I have reviewed in a while where I knew the band before reviewing. This is one of the three bands that I have not seen live that I really need to see live. I like most of their catalog maybe I do like the older stuff better than the last few albums but this album is really great. I think it begins and ends wonderfully the middle...
Mark’s Quick Reviews: Gregorian Rock’s – Fire0 (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. Well, here is a band that is what it says it is. Yes, it's rock with Gregorian chants. Most of my brain says wow why hasn't this been done before, but I think most times this album misses the mark. And I would say that maybe this is one of the worst mixing jobs I have heard in a while. Every song seems like there is a different instrument...
