The legend continues to grow

I own all of Big Big Train , including the ultra rare "Bard"...Although already having both parts of "English Electric" . I had to get the re-sequenced edition , with the 4 bonus tracks. (Luckily enough , I also got the edition with the band's autographs)
"Full Power" is even better in it's re-sequenced version. Although the running order on the individual 2 volumes made sense , the overall vision is more solidified within this structure with the four additional tracks.
This band continues to amaze and grow.....I can't wait to hear what is next on the horizon.

Well the Flame still burns as bright as it ever did, the Master Musician has riffed the Stratocaster into the Stratosphere.*
* *
*The album starts of with a nice classically influenced movement, then all hell is unleashed, with riffs and solo's flying from the fingers of Yngwie. The album is well and truly in flames by the time you get to the second track, and this is maintained throughout the whole musical journey that is Perpetual Flame.*
*Some notable changes come through the speakers by the time you get to /MAGIC CITY. The bluesy feel is enhanced by sitars and the whole psychedelic feel is mindblowing. This has to be without doubt  one of the best tracks Yngwie has ever done, the pure Magic from the Wizards Fret board of that track is spellbinding./*
* *
*The whole production is again a masterpiece of musicianship, with contributions from Tim/ (Vocals),/ Derek/ (Keys),/ and Patrik /(Drums)/ all of which show why Yngwie has them in Rising Force. The mastering of the album is also very well done, and I look forward to more new and re-mastered material on the Rising Force Label.*
* *
*So as the dieing embers of the /Heavy Heart /track fades, it seems that YJM and Rising Force has once again produced an album that will stand as a great piece of heavy rock music.*

*MORE IS DEFEINTALY MORE...*

Flame in the Dark is a fantastic continuation of Nell Ingram's story.  Nell is a young woman dealing with her childhood in a cult while attempting to join the modern world as a productive member of PsyLED.  Those who have read the first two Soulwood books will find the character growth and new insights into Nell and other characters.  The case in this book is interesting, and Faith Hunter has continued to build her incredible world, but the true star of this book is Nell's interactions with her past and possible futures.  Fans will be pleased with the book, although it may at times make them want to scream in frustration.
While Faith does provide reference for events in prior novels, readers should consider reading the first two books before picking up book three to truly appreciate the story.  This is especially true if you plan to discuss it with fans of the series.

A wonderful addition to Essaylien, Michelle West's world and mythology continue to grow is this enjoyable expansion. There is a lot of character growth and development of new points of view as the House War series moves towards it end, and finally more mysteries are being solved than created, giving a real sense of progress. A little less dynamic action than previous books, it is still very enjoyable and and a worthy addition.

This character continues to develop and become more interesting.  Each story adds detail, and Ryan is becoming quite the interesting fellow.  I look forward to more stories and to finding out where this all leads.  The stories themselves are well-paced with a historian's eye for the "little things".

Whereas Carnival was a good solid album, Wake shows NJS to be blossoming and maturing as a songwriter and performer, and there is a hint that the homespun charm is about to be left behind as she develops into becoming a deeper artist.
The band are tight, the music great, and the whole thing is becoming a little bolder.

I'm sure the next album will put even more meat on the bones and although we can't stray too far from the country roots of apple pie and innocent bliss, I feel the best is yet to come.

A great artist and band and highly recommended

Oh come on!! This guy just rocks that guitar!! His voice keeps on getting better through the years. He is in his early 30s and I don't see how he could possibly get any better!! Truly a blues' genius... and will be a legend to the likes of B.B. King one day. It's his destiny.

I've been reading Y The Last Man for years now (always the graphic novel collections) and the story continues to grow stronger with each new volume. While one might believe the story of the last man on earth would become repetitive over time, the writers and artists make sure to not only keep the story fresh by adding depth to existing characters and introducing new ones, but also to bring a visual variety as the characters move around the world.

I'm a pretty avid comic reader, and Y The Last Man takes the cake for my favorite series yet.

As with all new releases the songs tend to grow on you. Each time I listen there are new treasures found within the lyrics and musical riffs. I only wish they would do an extensive American Tour!

This series just keeps getting better and stronger. Daphne's magic has quickened and it seems she and Carson may be Champions as well. I liked seeing more of the magic.
Estep's imaging of Loki is interesting to me. Especially with the Reaper girl's obsessive object.

The story continues with some great plot development. The characters are continuing to develop well too.

A nice continuation of the Atevi-human saga.  C.J. starts to flesh out the character of the heir to Tabini, which will become more apparent in the next volume.

Daron has grown a lot since the beginning of the Chronicles and the character development shows strongly in this new volume.
Having learned both more about himself and the people around him, Daron still struggles, but is beginning to attain more clarity about what he wants.
While his music is flourishing despite the many obstacles, the reader can't but worry about Ziggy along with the main character.

Back to Rook and Jordan this time with the introduction to a couple of new characters, hence expanding on the storyline. Also the the plot thickens and a whole new can of worms gets opened up. Some insight into Vince and how he's dealing with life after the Scrape. This particular installment is more of a transitory novel moving the storyline further along than developing a new one but nonetheless keeps the reader captivated.
