A Simple Lullaby has underwhelmed me so far, but I have a feeling it will grow in a big way, just like Tiny Tears did.

EDIT: Or maybe it's just your avatar...
Let him off the hook? Am I being an asshole or something? It's a discussion. This board has some of the most sensitive people I've ever met on the net. If everyone isn't loving each other like a bunch of drunken hippies people start stressing. I was having a simple discussion, no hard feelings involved. Calm down, Das Schuetzemouth.

On the other hand... I felt the same way about Lemuria/Sirius B (Therion) as chiablo feels about Synchestra. I liked only about half of it but I still thought it was pretty good.
He can hate the album for all I care, I simply pointed out that his review is inconsistent. I'm not the one that came back with a response talking about saying it in simpler terms (a reference my comprehension skills or intelligence, no doubt). When someone says more than 50% of an album is filler, that is not a great album. Say you don't like it overall then, but 6 songs are awesome. Don't say you only like 6 songs, but still think the album is great. That makes no sense. That is all I was saying.

This album is fantastic, one of Dev's best creations to date.
Looking forward to the release date, hopefully we won't have to wait to long.

I meant...like sharing my files over a network like soulseek or P2P...
The RIAA goes after people who do the sharing....not so much the people doing the downloading.
The more files you share, the more risk that you'll get a court summons in the mail one day.

Besides, I think Notes From Africa could be with those 3 awesome songs ! Devin was already a genius at Infinity time, this song is awesome... the beginning fall us on our ass !
Thank you
