  • ★★★★★ · Acoustic set it like Reckoning, but better · Dreamspeak · 2023

    It's those songs and arrangements that we all love from Reckoning (or...at least, I do) with slightly worse sound quality, but substantially more passionate. Listen to the jam in Cassidy, for example -- WAY more intense than the (excellent) one from Radio City on Reckoning. In October they were playing with a little restraint; they were making a record, and didn't want to f*** up. But here, they're letting it loose. That's what we come for!

  • ★★★★★ · Rise to Glory · Petronius Jablonski · 2014

    Purple People, seated under the purple lights in the Phil Zone like surfers of an eruption, I envy you during this Estimated Prophet, the first of 81 and last of 80, the metaphysical glue of their connection. Focus on Phil until some Helen Keller awakening shatters the shell of your mind and reveals to the stunned hatching within a world beyond all wonder. The intrinsic peculiarity of this song is never covered by the gray blanket of familiarity wrapping most things.
