question:
Sacrilege to compare with 80's legend bands. . To compare this with the Smiths the Furs and the Cure..? is a sacrilege. It is far from those bands, not remotely in their league, and not even close to their sound.. Its lite bouncy uninspired pop. Which is fine, but please be honest with musical comparisons, perhaps listen to the refered bands before using them as a reference
answer:
NEG

question:
Absolute Magic! . I have listened to Kurt Bestor for several years. His music is soulful, peaceful and absolute magic! He is by far my favorite "new age" artist. My favorite track, What child is this...hauntingly beautiful
answer:
POS

question:
I'm Shakin it ova here boss! . This is a minstrel show. Period point blank. These guys set black people back 20 years. Look at them in "black face" on the cover of their album. They look like al jolsen twins. Then the music they make is insulting to every race color and creed. Any music that makes you feel dumber when you listen to it should be banned. I'm calling my alderman now to start the movement. LOL
answer:
NEG
