Do you play in any bands?

I know that syncopation is not tied to odd times; the glaring example of syncopated rhythm is always demonstrated in 4/8. Bruford plays everything, not just odd times.

Symphonic Slam? I'm checking the Prog Archives page and listening to the sample. Yeah, you can definitely tell they've been influenced by Pink Floyd. If I find them, I'll download them.

Arnold, I can't find anything with the mule. What should I do?

Yes, but Faust'o is a little pici'o, you can't believe everything he says.

"...nervous, syncopated style, played entirely on anticipatory beats..." I can imagine it... Well, I'll download it now, so I can tell you. Apparently, he's the new Bill Bruford... By the way, do you play anything?

Well said Duane

No Arnold, I'm just looking at the progarchives page right now. I'll download them, which one do you think is the best album?

He probably started to think for himself. He’s no longer a young calf now.

Come on, pretazzo, Chamberlin, I heard him on Melone Collins or whatever the hell it's called, and I have to say he's a touring musician who does his job (zero style, some clichés, and not much else, nothing, absolutely nothing personal): it's a serious handicap of the '90s, in my opinion, music had become such a standardized format that you couldn't recognize anyone anymore, except for sporadic cases (Portnoy, I can't stand him, but you can recognize him instantly). The same goes for Nirvana (they practically have the same rhythmic base as the Vibrazioni). And then these Zucche Spaccate have a sound that couldn't be more mainstream. I've been saying this for a century, this is no longer rock, not for a lack of ideas (in rock, ideas never run out, it's not classical music), but because of a systematic settling of all groups onto safe shores made of standardization of the song, of sounds, of singing (Corgan has a voice that is the bare minimum for a rock band even just 10 years earlier, and he sings in the typical alternative style of the late '80s and early '90s). Having said that, I won't rate the album because I don't know it. The review could have aimed for a 4, but I give you a 3 for statements like "...Not to mention Jimmy Chamberlin, one of the best drummers of all time...", come on, please, and then maybe they go insult Ringo Starr (lacking in technique, but with a lot of style).
