Free Music Notes for Not As Good As The Book
Free Music Review: So very special...
Hit: 5 Stars
I admit I am a Tangent fan. I got the special edition with the short story booklet and I can say this is a very very special project, recently i had a discussion with a friend regarding the stagnation and impossibility of evolution of prog, as its cemented in nostalgia. This is a concept album, but its not the usual prog concept with epic storyline or topics. For fans of Prog music with a certain knowledge of the genres history this will be a treat, the sci/fi short story/novel and the concept album feature many many references to prog music and the whole idea of nostalgia (the common glue binding the genre together) is handled in a very interesting and at times humorous way.
The main character (alter ego of tangent leader Andy Tillson) goes through a sort of midlife crisis as he recognizes that life is not the promised marvelous, colorful and bright future, but just grim, hence not as good as the book.
Not As Good As The Book Poster
"Not As Good As The Book", The Tangent s fourth studio album, is the band's most ambitious project to date, with the Special Edition including a full short novel by band leader and keyboard player Andy Tillison Diskdrive. The album itself is a double CD package featuring shorter songs on the first disc and two epic tracks on the second. Although most of the Tangent's usual hallmarks are existent, there are some deviations into new areas, including the main theme of the problems facing many of us in midlife. Not As good As The Book also seeks to redress the imbalance created by the fact that most rock songs are about young peoples ideals and problems; the future that we dreamed of when we were young is here... and it's Not as Good as the Book!Pop Music CDs
