This disc was one of my most anticipated once I saw that The Lasers Edge had it forthcoming ..........jumped on it immediately as I love this band. The problem is, I've been disappointed by their last two discs, and after so many years in between, I figured that this had to be the comeback for them ( or for me at least ). Nope......
I know that there aren't that many fans of this band here - I'm sure Gaetan has this and loves it, or hasn't heard it yet. I won't even go into the reasons why I don't like this one - its not worth it to try to find so many things that don't click....all I can say is that it is boring beyond belief. There is no life to the disc - it sounds like a sad, sci-fi, melancholy borefest......I can't tell one song from the next one .......
In their defense - when you write a masterpiece like Posthumous Silence, anything that follows is going to be compared to it. We can't help it - we are built that way.
The production itself is stellar - the music and vocals ? Blah. This band has been around for so long, I guess they have lost the fire.......they have always been a blind purchase for me - another one off the list. The list is so small I don't even look at it anymore. This disc is my biggest disappointment of the year so far.......such a shame.

I feel the same. The first single was not bad so I hoped for much more but it turned out to be a complete snoozefest. Unfortunately.

Re: SYLVAN / One to Zero ...... what happened ?
****I had to stop it several times before I could get through the whole thing when I first got it. After I played the whole thing through, I never went back again. With each disc, this band seems to have gotten more and more away from the very thing that made them great. Variety, melodies, and drama....... their past couple of discs have been just plain boring - no other way to describe it. They just don't go anywhere ....... so sad for band thats been around as long as they have ......
