2008-01-18 05:52:32 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...meaningless. With great songs that shine its light While it is truly an excellent compilation I could not place it, in the sense that it is too commercial promotional and almost meaningless. But not to be put on the sidelines

...meaningless blahblah in Sunny Lane. Or are there similar songs, same style bound in a concept? No. Actually 85% of the epic is excellent, they improved much from RS's The Flower King, its kinda flawless, if I skip the Mean Machine and Dungeon. But who are the opera singers here? The tenor is the Satan? Who is the soprano? The Angel of God?...

...meaningless lyrics with positive message. What is the ping-pong sound in the beginning? Is it a metaphor of Life, flowing without problems then ending up so out of the blue? I dont know. But I read somewhere that Bodin likes ping-pong, that may be the reason How could I make these songs better? Erase the introductory ping-pong. Erase the...

...meaningless blather of the two surrogates, I thought that the contrast in imagery was stark. I asked myself if such a thing could have happened 20 years ago, and of course the answer would have been no. Yet it occurred without any fanfare, hype or protests. It was a snapshot of "Race in America", that is seldom seen or discussed In the end...

...meaningless, as Robert Plant once put it, and thus could not generate the mystery of Led Zeppelin . And they had a fitful command of the deep and meaningful, making only occasional attempts at sociological commentary that had a satiric edge closer to the Coasters than to the Who or Pink Floyd . What they did have was command of the shallow...

...meaningless* perjorative, hipster. All I can really say in my anti-hipster defense is that I still eat hamburgers at In-N-Out, can dunk a basketball and am hitting .368 with a .680 slugging percentage in my Saturday hardball Baseball league (Go Buzz). Now if youll excuse me its time to put on a headband and cut my hair in fashionable yet...

Play by ear - supporting evidence

2007-07-15 00:00:00 by Editor in IWasDoingAllRight - Jazz Blog, Jazz Trumpet, Ear Training, Atlanta Jazz
 
...meaningless if they arrive at those note choices by theory alone, and not by ear. I call this phenomenon "empty note playing." These are notes without specific harmonic intent. The notes may be technically correct, but they won't be as convincingly played as the same notes arrived at by a gut-level, emotional feeling to play those particular...

Sundowner - Four One Five Two (2007)

...meaningless. It is a catchy, darkly optimistic picture of life painted by a pop-punk veteran who truly knows what he is writing. Anyone can relate. And once you can smell the summer night in full bloom, what more is there to say Red Scare 2007 Reviewed on 2007-11-14 10:10:55 by Andy Polhamus
