...manages to demean the chick and give the guy reason enough to ditch the dead weight and be with her, all in under three minutes. That's impressive Dino Damage" by Miniature Tigers Not since Steve Miller's "The Joker" has the world heard such a cool instance of a talking guitar. In the former, Miller used his guitar to wolf whistle....

The Boxer Rebellion to release Union + Evacuate to be iTunes Global Single of the Week

2009-01-07 15:41:36 by bandweblogs in Band Weblogs
...manages to surpass the vertiginous ambitions of its predecessor. While retaining the uniquely charged live sound that has won them a feverishly devoted following throughout Europe, Union sees the band taking their already lofty ambitions to subliminal levels. From the tribal-drum explosion of opener Flashing Red Light Means Go, through the...

INTO ETERNITY - The Scattering of Ashes (2006)

The Article has images
2008-03-16 15:33:45 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...manages to have some small amounts of good moments. In this fourth addition we can listen yet again to a new vocalist: Stu Block and another new member bassist Troy Bleich which have replaced the leaving members. The album's quality I would have to say its their best so far but the music its somewhat frustrating and boring rather than...

RUSH - Moving Pictures (1981)

2008-05-19 14:55:51 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...manages to emphasise the vocals by its absence. Great chorus (especially with regards to the vocals and a rock power not often achieved on the album). The return to a verse is unconvincing, but the song remains powerful and excellent, and manages to decelerate to provide a background for an effective quiet Lifeson solo The Camera Eye begins...

KING CRIMSON - Discipline (1981)

2008-05-19 17:37:53 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...manages to contribute a unique feel effortlessly, and Levin's array of bass sounds. A number of grinding guitar solos (presumably from Fripp) and a brilliant elephant impression from Belew complete the sound side of the song. Lyrically (supplemented by Belew's excellent, shouting and rather confused-sounding vocal) the song is incredibly...

...manages to be romantically touching and exceptionally infectious. I hope you feel the same, feel the same, as youre whistling my name, Levitt sings somberly, backed by an impressive acoustical progression and steadfast rhythm section. How long, how long, Levitt and Quitzow sing in a duet during the chorus, providing a beautiful rendition that...

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR - H to He, Who Am the Only One (1970)

The Article has images
2008-08-16 19:20:51 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...manages to, with supple variations, hold up the piece perfectly. The parable of the fish (coincidentally, this makes the album lyrically presenting loneliness in sea-break-land-break-space progression), representing men isolating themselves through alienating those around them, is delivered with a dark, almost watery, vocal, and the entire...

2008-09-03 22:39:00 by boyhowdy in Cover Lay Down
...manages to retain the tempo of the original, but replaces the strained tension of the original with a much more restrained folk-pop, couched in sweet-voiced vibrato and doubled harmonies, reminiscent of a certain mostly-acoustic Stevie Nicks ballad. The total package manages to keep the energy high throughout while allowing for both a more...

...manages to pull off a nice lot of good old-fashioned rockers. The title track opens the album,with the classic structure of hard rock compositions that Ritchie Blackmore helped to build in his Deep Purple days.A nice riff,catchy lines and a very strong guitar solo make this one of the best tracks in the album.The folowing,Lady of the lake,is...
