Title: Pleasant, but far from memorable Review: The disappointing "Live at Carnige Hall" seems to be the beginning of the end of Renaissance. The band's unwillingness (or inability) to show a little spontaneity in their note for note reworking of some of their songs suggested that the band was either beginning to run out of ideas, a notion that was sadly confirmed by its follow-up studio effort "Novella." The fatal flaw here is that the band seemed to be putting more effort on expanding the orchestral sound that worked so well on their two best albums, "Turn of the Cards, and "Scheherazade" at the expense of writing actual songs. Sadly, "Novella" seems almost devoid of melodies that one remembers 20 seconds after the song is over ("The Captive Heart" comes close). This is all pleasant, competent stuff, but ultimately it is an album that fails to excite. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Russian (aka post Soviet) propaganda machine still at work Review: Great, thrilling movie. Short on real Orthodox Christian monastic reality. Has little to do with real prayer or asceticism, or clairevoyent elder(ship). Like the utterly fabricated Fr. Arseny novel (fic-bioraphy) the agenda coming out of Moscow and Sretensky Monastery (Abbott Tikhon) is pure Soviet propoganda. All is well in the NEW HOLY RUSSIA INC. Trouble is it's just too pat, too prepared, and not really warm with the truth of Christ's holy Truth or Historical Martyric Orthodoxy. Is the review positive or negative?
(Answer)
Negative
