been listening to this band alot on Spotify lately like what I hear

If you haven't all ready, do yourself the favor and listen to it end to end without distraction, it's truly an amazing piece of work.

I just put the finishing touches on a review of this album for obscure/Nem's webzine. Just need one little tidbit to add and I will share it, probably within the day.

Can't wait. Spun this a couple of times this weekend.

I'd hate to be the party pooper here, but I've listened through this album a couple of times and while it's good, there's nothing that really excites as yet. It's solid, but I think needs a lot of listens to fully absorb.

lonestar · « **Reply #39 on:** May 22, 2012, 04:39:45 PM »

How can you not loving it effect my love for it?

Clearly you're doing it wrong.

The vocals make the album for me. Along with the music, the vocals really bring the songs to a new level, especially since the vocals are female. She really adds a whole lot to them, hearing her makes me want to find more female vocalist bands in this style. Or better yet, we need more female singers singing this style. Which in turn is funny, because she sounds like some pop singers in some songs, I've always said I would enjoy the pop singers more if they sang a different style or sang about different topics other than heartbreaking love songs, and sex songs.

Thanks for showing us this band, Its a contender for album of the year.

Another impressive piece of writing dude.

P.S. check your Spotify inbox.

Thanks dude, and I'll get to it listening I get the morning cobwebs cleaned out.

Wow, that's got to be one of the best-written reviews I've ever read, anywhere. You are one talented mo-fo, mister.

lonestar · « **Reply #47 on:** May 23, 2012, 08:45:17 AM »

Right on Barry, thanks for saying that. Amazing what comes out of us once we stop drowning the insides?

It's funny you say that, when I was writing the review and dumping all that praise on the album, all I could think about was the Simpson's episode where Homer was a food critic, and loved everything.

Food critics have it nice though, eat for free at the best places, and all they have to do is write about them, rough fucking life.

Good thing I don't have the time or patience to write album reviews because I'd just end up with a bunch of perks I could never use anyway

Haven't gotten around to reading your review yet, though it seems kind of silly to read a positive review of something I already like

Also, some less than glowing reviews are necessary to maintain credibility - and yes the Homer episode does come to mind. "Nine thumbs up? What the HELL is that?"

lonestar · « **Reply #54 on:** May 23, 2012, 12:18:13 PM »

My favorite comment from that one is "pedestrian"

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. One thing is I hate to slam someone publicly, it's just not in my nature, and two, both the albums I reviewed so far, this and the Mechanical Poet album, I do love that much. She just sent me a few others that I might be able to be a bit more critical on, but I'm so lacking in the music theory side, I'm always searching for the terms to describe what I know I'm hearing, it's a lot of learning but fun as hell, definately a hobby I want to keep up on.

You clearly haven't read our chef's handiwork. You've eaten it, now you need to read it.

From what I've heard, the music on this album is incredible. I'm just not a fan of the female vocals. I'll need a lot more sampling before I buy this.

The male vocal is the more dominant on the album, and are incredible. The thing is the two fit together so perfectly with the music and especially with the story.

Thanks for the link, JB. My time on the computer is fairly limited so I usually just hit YouTube.

It's on my radar for sure.

Her voice reminds me of Kim's from Touchstone. Another great band you all should check out and lonestar should review
