Album of the Day

more once more, by finneus gauge (1997): A couple of times I've mentioned an album that didn't live up to the hype it generated (see yesterday, for instance). In this case, I was part of the hype! I snapped up this debut disc by one of the echolyn spin-offs right when it came out and promptly wrote a glowing review for my website. To my great surprise, I opened up Progression magazine one month to find an ad for the album with several "critic's" raves - including mine! Something about being album of the year material. It definitely was and is still one of my all-time favorites. It set such a high standard that the band couldn't match it on their second and final album.
