Ignore the dumb negative comments above. If you like prog, you'll like this. If you don't like this, you don't really know or like good prog.

1.0 out of 5 stars I would think twice., Nov 26 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Happy the Man (Audio CD)

This recording has the same problem as a lot of the more obscure American prog albums, and a lot of the newer prog like Spock's Beard. The musicians can play, but the lyrics and vocals are just embarrasing and they ruin any kind of vibe that could have been achieved. To compare these guys to Yes, Genesis, etc., at their peak is to have missed a lot of what was cool about those bands. It really sounds like the singer is the wimpy hippie teacher from Beavis and Butthead. Get Relayer instead, or if you have all the more well-known prog recordings from the 70's, get into some of the Italian bands from that period or Magma or something.

1.0 out of 5 stars a pure waste of money and time, May 13 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Happy the Man (Audio CD)

this is a cd I am sorry I have bought .
you can see there is a great ambition to create prog , and mabe for a moment or two it sounds prog .
but real prog connoisseurs know better .
pure waste of time . and I suggest to those annonymous musicians to get some basic music lessons from people who MADE IT .
or seriously consider to change their trade to something useful . even shoemakers . coming to think of it , they did . it is annonymous , and better be that way .
