I'm glad other people are enjoying the record, but despite trying several times, I can't. I'm not going to apologize for having a different opinion.Chris Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889080582478944919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304253421271402015.post-83995510513356235482016-07-09T22:10:18.213-04:002016-07-09T22:10:18.213-04:00OK well, there's your opinion, and then there&...OK well, there's your opinion, and then there's this from a different critic:<br /><br />An organic, majestic, mystical, wondrous, richly-woven tapestry of melodies, this album succeeds because Stolt’s experience as the Third Wave’s hero of long Prog compositions blends beautifully with Anderson’s invention of the genre in the First Wave. It succeeds not because of who they are, but because of what they have done with it.<br /><br />---------- Meanwhile a 3rd review presents the following:<br /><br />‘Invention of Knowledge’ is priceless and intimate. With so much depth, colour and meaning, it might be pointless to merely call this a record for it builds such a strong relationship with any listener. ‘Invention of Knowledge’ is made up of timeless elements and will be a standard for all time to come.<br /><br />----------------------<br />So, I suppose the take-away from all this is that music criticism must be the most pointless human activity of the modern era.Sean Fulophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610398963994746965noreply@blogger.com
