Negative Positive
Title: No, thank you (a retread).
Review: I dunno about this album. I've got everything Jade Warrior did in the '70's, and this just sounds like a forced, uninspired return to their glory days (the drum machine is horrible). It leaves a bad taste in my mouth....it's almost like a parody of their Island material. I have to force myself to listen to it to write this (not a good sign). If I was gonna be more diplomatic, I think I enjoy this one more during the mellow bits, but it's nothing they didn't do MUCH better earlier on albums like Floating World and Kites. It seems like they were adhering too closely to a New Age aesthetic. Just look at the song titles...."Evocation"...."Timeless Journey"......."Night Of The Shamen"? Cliche.And by the way, for the guy (girl?) who was asking if the lyric "And it's alright, sitting in firelight" was Jade Warrior, yes it is, and it's the first song on Last Autumn's Dream (my favorite JD album), "A Winter's Tale".
Is the review positive or negative?
