Negative Positive
Title: Dated and formulaic
Review: With the cast of musicians assembled here, I expected a great deal more and thought this music would have more staying power. I just listened to "Arc Angels" again and can only wonder what might have been had the band stayed away from clichés and worn-out themes centered on "having a good time" and instead gotten down to business and played like these guys could have.We are left with a moment in time, dated and formulaic with moments when everything clicks, but these moments are too infrequent and brief to sustain interest. Update: I have to admit I am puzzled by all the "unhelpful" votes for this negative review. So I listened to this CD again, or tried to, and have to stick with impression that though there is a lot of talent here, the music does not sustain much interest.
Is the review positive or negative?
