I do agree with some that this review is a bit too....distracted from the show intended for review. Context is worthy and interesting, but this is a bit off track with so much "other show" context. Definitely read it to find out about SB2, but by the time i got to it--i was already just feeling jaded transference. Which, interestingly, gives me enough context to somewhat discount this review OF SB2--i just ended up assuming the author wasnt in a good place to be 'objective' (whatever that means).

I also think that overt wishful thinking for a halloween album is a little...well, a way to set up disappointment. The band has clearly been hinting "no halloween album" in various ways..... at least IMHO. I was exhausted with all the fans who didnt get wingsuit last year. I cant deny that im already exhausted (in advance) imagining all the fussing that will happen when the band doesnt give fans a cover set. Pink Floyd much less.

Well written, regardless. A fun review, but not necessarily enough about the actual SB2 show. A little too much about kids and wives. Maybe a little more about the show and music. Just my .02. Carry on sir.
