    To quote the press release:

    A new studio album from the legendary band The Syn [...]

    a rich and extensive history in music [...] acclaimed [...] Other acclaimed musicians [...] exceptional job [...] joined by renowned [...] already being anticipated as a master work. [...] the illustrious [...] described it as “a beautiful album, the best prog album of the last decade.” [...] critically acclaimed
    Do you all find that over-written PR guff is actively off-putting? At least find some more synonyms for "acclaimed"...

    I thought "illustrious" was a pretty worthy attempt.

    Yes. Very much so.

    I listened to the camples on amazon.com. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...s=music&sr=1-3

    Seems kind of "meh" on the first listen, but then they're just short extracts. The sticking point for me is that I don't really rate Nardelli too highly as a singer. (On the other hand, I LOVE Moon Safari.) I'll wait until there's been more feedback before I take the plunge.

    Henry, do you mean The SYNonyms? I'm going to send you a copy of course, I wonder what you will make of Trustworks.

    You may not rate me but this album is worth buying for the Moon Safari harmonies that flow through the cd from start to finish, they are brilliant.

    That's kind of you, Steve. I will listen with interest. I've enjoyed listening to Syn albums considerably more than I've enjoyed reading the overblown PR guff about Syn albums.

    Yes, absolutely.

    You are welcome Henry, you have played a significant part in 21st Century Syn and I will always be grateful to you for that despite the odd conflict along the way. I have to agree with you on overblown PR guff to some extent, I wonder if people even take much notice of it when buying albums. You get what you hear not what you read.
