I can't figure out what they were trying to accomplish here. If Kurt wanted to release a dark, depressing album, at least he could have done it in his own name and not call it Information Society. But instead he decides to alienate half his fans (if not more) by making a complete departure from his trademark style. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against gothy techno kind of stuff. And this album does bear a slight passing resemblance to the first (apparently unofficial) InSoc release... the one with the giant "I" on it. But for a band that is constantly hovering on the edge of obscurity, this was a bad move. I am begging you, please bring back the techno/synth happy stuff and the clever samples for the next album (if there IS a next one!), okay Kurt? This stuff is just depressing. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Good Stories + lots of them Review: This book was really fun to read -- the stories seem to flow pretty well one to another. They are arranged chronologically, and paint a vivid picture of the whole war for us who weren't there. Since each story has a different perspective and author, you get a well rounded taste of the heroes and horrors that came from the great clash of the 20th century. Best Little Stories of World War II is a wonderful choice for anyone interested in history or in WWII. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Doesnt deal with myths' deeper historical origins Review: I can only say, not being a classicist, but one who did study under the esteemed Prof. Edward O'Neil of Univ. of Southern California, that I find it curious that this author does not deal much with the theories of migrations (Achaeans, Dorians later) into Greece that explain origins and approximate dates of certain myths. For example the inclusion of chthonic deities/mother earth deities being early myths of Minoan influences, the patriarchal - sky-god myths relating to Achaeans and their influence by migration on the Greek mainland. I find H.J. Rose better at this for sure, as is O'Neil's work on Library of Apollodorus. Man, Myth and Monument,is also an excellent guide for anyone who wants to follow this fascinating aspect of myth. Answer:
