[kj] Perceptions so far - the soundalikes

[Jiri]

I like both albums, but I much prefer the Hosannas songs in the two 
soundalikes you mention:

Lightbringer achieves a nice trance and funky groove for me, whereas 
Asteroid always felt like just a headbanger shouting match. I can never 
get through the whole thing. On Lightbringer, I wish Jaz sang with the 
music more during the chorus, but I really like the timing of the vocals 
during the verses ("who knew precisely...(1-2-3-4) the earth's diamter") 
even when I'm not buying the lyrical content.

Dark Forces has an almost-rousing chorus...but the verses tire me and 
the strings are canned; the lyrical sentiment of Dark Forces is still 
some times enough to make me play it, though. Invocation -- it has no 
chorus! But at least the strings are more textured and real. Match its 
"verses" with some kind of chorus and I'd like it a little more.
