Blackfield - An Accident of Stars 2004 - 2017 (6CD / 1 DVD)

Here we go .... again....

Yes - Mirror to the Sky (the bundle of the 2CD and the green vinyl...no cheaper than buying separately though) Not getting the deluxe this time - don't need a blu ray with instrumental mixes or the album in 5.1 atmos or hi res, and don't need a book. After last time and the bore-fest of an album that was The Quest, at least maybe I can flip the green vinyl (ltd to 500). But then again it could be great and I end up keeping both...but then again I've been hoping for that for years....but then again I might be paying people to take the vinyl off my hands if it is pants again...but then again I'm really hoping (against the odds?) I get to keep both.

...... BUT THEN AGAIN - compared to The Ice Bridge from the last album which was the standout track and the lead off track AND the pre-released song, the current  pre-released song from this - Cut From the Stars - just sounds OK, not sold on it YET, it starts well enough but then seems to meander a little  - preferred Ice Bridge so I'm hoping this isn't the best track. Soundwise I'm sorry but I still think this band is slowly turning into a wimpy version of World Trade probably due to Billy Sherwood's distinctive bass playing and still Jon Davison's vocals are missing something, but do sound a little better - I think it's just a lack of "depth" or maybe a perceived feel that he's always holding back that makes me feel they are unconvincing. 

Are Yes supposed to make you feel tense????????????????

I have a Swedish Erotica album, but it is self-titled. I can't really remember what it sounds like so might get it out and give it a spin. It is a difficult band to filter results for given their name and some search suggestions that come up!

 I have the self titled also,pretty good stuff...Too Daze Gone was I think supposed to be the follow up before the music scene changed and they released Blindmans Justice instead..it wasnt my cuppa tea but these tracks are with Matts Leven on vocals.
