Dinner for One

For something so acoustic driven, this band definitely has something - they create a sound that is, undoubtedly, heavy and strong, in sharp contrast to the light, airy connotation the term 'acoustic' generally possesses.

With lots of interesting time signatures and sounds, a multi-layered musical pallete, and strong, dynamic vocals, this band is slightly reminiscent of the sort of heavy neo-prog of bands such as Tool. Acoustically driven and accessible, they still create a sound that is unique, dynamic, and strong. And although at times they fall into the pit of generic alt-rock crooning, they generally manage to pull themselves back out again with their superb instrumentation and unique songcraft. For an independent band, very professional, and indeed, very promising.

Some good rock tracks that is undoubted. Being a bit of an old rocker there is much to be enjoyed, but then what need I say when it's all been said in the preamble. They have a sense of their own abilities and are obviously proud of their achievement in constructing this album and sharing it.

Using Jamendo as a launchpad to take off and become one of those albums on the supermarket shelves I do not find particularly endearing and not really a part of the philosopy of the Creative Commons. But then, having said that Amity We Should Give speaks volumes, so I don't wish anything but good luck in your endeavours, I personally just prefer music being made for the love of it, not to aim for walking the red carpet to fortune and fame.

It's not even an element of jealousy, before I get accused of it, it's about the spirit, and mainstream music isn't saying a lot of good things, so more of this in the mainstream is a positive inclusion. I cannot change the world and people's aspirations to making a million, that will always exist, as will greed. Once you get there, you only want more millions, until you've got so many you don't know what to do with it but buy several cars and huge mansions, while people are dying from lack of water to drink. Why so many people lust after it is a mystery to me, so much for capitalism, and it obviously doesn't work long-term. Not everyone can be a millionaire, so why should anybody, pro tanto?

Overall, the music is good enough, it's rock, though I don't agree with some of the tags. Why 'undefined', but to maybe add a bit of spice which isn't necessarily there, same with 'alternative', that would incur something being different, and there is a lot of derivative sounds and style here. Not particularly original, bearing in mind the overflow we have of this type of music. However, that's not to say that it isn't done well, it is, that I can only agree with. I can see it being very appealing, especially to the younger audience, but the older ones will have heard it all before, I suspect.

Good album, but it doesn't blow my socks off, which is want I like rock to do. Like I said, good luck, it very amenable, amicable, digestible stuff and has a wide-ranging appeal factor.

Great theme for the Video "Dinner for One":
Animals eating a human (like a roast) looks strange, but scarcely anybody thinks humans eating animals strange!?
We've come far enough in evolution, we have got enough technological advance, to be able to respect all life, whether it's human or animal!

I like the heavy acoustic sound.

One of finest that rock can deliver and that you can find here on Jamendo. I really like the album, and it's energy. This 10 songs really left me wanting more. A must for every rock fan!
