Progressive Rock : progressive rock reviews
Probably one of the best Rush works,but even it is not enough for 5 stars masterpiece. Very good album indeed,but obviously Rush is not concurrent to the giants of progressive rock music.I think this album is so technical example for the fact that the technique is not everything. You need more -... (original story)

an imaginative album full of surprises and irony (and self-irony).I had the luck to see them live at a progfest, when I didn't know about them, and I was really surprised by their vitality and profusion of different moments.they can be too much maximalistic to please everyone, but certainly they d...

Progressive Rock : progressive rock reviews
One of the best prog albums ever. I love the sound of the keyboards, I love the cover and how it illustrates the music, the epic on side 2 but also the smaller tracks ('Winter Wine') on side 1, the Britisih humour and the philosophy ('Life's too short to be sad, whishing things you'll never have...

Progressive Rock : progressive rock reviews
An interesting album with so much interesting idea. The first I would like to say is the fact that some of the songs contain psychedelic moments with circus music elements.It is extremely seen in Uno zoo di vetro and Per una strada affollata. I think the ideas are not compact enough and the tran... (original story)

Progressive Rock : progressive rock reviews
Oh. what a difficult album to review! Yes was always my first love in prog, the reason why I fell for this genre in the first time. But, to be absolute frank, all their studio works after Tormato did not captivate me too much. The Ladder is among them. It has some great moments that made me remind... (original story)

Progressive Rock : progressive rock reviews
2,5 stars, really. Recorded soon after the Air Cut album sessions, Lovechild was only released in 1990. I was eager to get this CD, since I´m a big fan of the band, and I really like Air Cut, even though it was quite different from what the band had made before. Well, I must say I was a bit disap...

The album is little bit longer,than it should be! The songs are longer than they should,too! The album is technical great ,but most if the songs are boring and the problem is the lack of melody in there. There are a few instruments and vocals,but I would like to ask where is the melody?That make... (original story)
