...lumbers along and is finally crushed under its own weight, but is forgotten by the end of "Cyclone Boy" which with a sheen of vinyl crackle would sound like a buried treasure from the late 60s. While theres nothing particularly wrong with the albums final third, it does seem to end with a fizzle instead of the explosion you keep expecting No...

NICE, THE - Ars Longa Vita Brevis (1968)

The Article has images
2008-04-13 00:29:56 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...lumbers in, Jackson's less than light touch on bass and Brian Davison doing a typically good job, somehow holding this ambitious new venture together. Careful improvisation follows showing how jazz, classical and rock can meet and maybe, someday, even get along. Emerson was in an ideal position to do this-- no one could touch him and the...

...lumbers along like Frankenstein at a Halloween party. By contrast, 'Protoland' is a sparse affair to start with, a slow builder that would not have been out of place on TANGERINE DREAM's 'Exit'. The title track is a rather nondescript affair, disappearing into a sandstorm of sound REDSHIFT forgo the simple TANGERINE DREAM nostalgia invoked by...

COLOSSEUM - Daughter of Time (1970)

2008-05-05 10:00:29 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...lumbers a little, with Farlowe's very powerful voice or a generically-used sax not merging very well. 2) It's interesting to have a very strong and individual vocalist, and even if Farlowe's additions of 'baby' in some songs seems out of place, and his voice occasionally seems a little too strong, he really does add to the album and pull off...

RUSH - Permanent Waves (1980)

2008-05-20 14:47:47 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...lumbers a bit, with overdone synths and a rather awkward ambling guitar part (coupled with boring, bombastic drums). It doesn't help that the lyrics are, while original in idea and form of expression, very forced at times ('they weren't born in lotus-land'). The choruses pick up a lot musically, but Geddy's voice just doesn't quite make the...

...lumbers Dans Silverleaf s way Saturday, is almost as awesome as the lineup (Im pretty sure this was designed by Denton poet and writer Gigi Foster, but would welcome a confirmation or correction The font is straight off a low-budget horror movies promo poster, and theres a lot of attention to the details, like the LJ IV scratched into the axe...

...lumbers along like a Lamborghini on cruise control in a school zone. If it werent for Steve Kahns lively guitar ride it could put you in a coma. Even the entertainment factor normally found in the wordplay is absent and unaccounted for. Donald portrays a fellow out to challenge another male for the hand of a maiden but the most he can boast...

Fantasy - S/T (US 'West Coast Sound' 1969)

The Article has images
2008-11-21 07:00:00 by ChrisGoesRock in ChrisGoesRock
...lumbers and soars and crashes back to earth. "Stoned Cowboy" is mid tempo powerhouse psychedelia, with not a voice in earshot, thank you! Huge production, a very catchy riff, and an avoidably magnetic performance that uses reverb in a relatively aquatic fashion Stoned Cowboy, an instrumental, received considerable airplay in Miami / Detroit...

RUNDGREN, TODD - Runt: The Ballad of Todd Rundgren (1971)

2009-01-03 14:29:20 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...lumbers along listlessly. The macabre thing about this LP is that it was a favorite of the despicable coward Mark David Chapman and the lyrics on this tune (Be a big man/go on and take the gun/if you lose your hand/you got another one) give me the creeps. Its not Rundgrens fault that such a deranged psychopath latched on to his innocent...
