Author Post « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Jim Muglia unregistered Doesn't this sound kinda rude?        Greetings, I visited the Larry Norman online store (www.larrynorman.com) to make a purchase (Stonehill's long-awaited WTP cd release); and in the process I noticed this portion of Larry Norman's review of DA's "Horrendous Disc" cd: ------------- "Albums came and went. Even a four-part apocalyptic "concept album" with diverse songs about surfers, and dancing couldn't somehow catch the vision that Horrendous Disc presented. This one album maximized their popularity with the general public who were soon left behind. Only the hard work of CCM journalists like John Quincy Newcombe and his unbroken succession of ecstatic album reviews kept the term "genius" and Terry Taylor in many reader's minds. His works were not always easy to find. But journalists and fans carried the banner high, and kept the middle-of-the-road people mindful of his meaningful music." -------------- Geez, with all due respect to Larry Norman, that was a very rude, and subjective paragraph. What I get out of it is Larry Norman saying: 1) DA hasn't made anything on par with Horrendous Disc. 2) Only silly reviewers like John Quincy Newcombe insisted that Taylor was a genius even though in reality he had lost his flare since Horrendous Disc. 3) DA's music since Horrendous Disc was "middle of the road" and for "middle of the road" people. 4) "with diverse songs about surfers and dancing" is a fair way to sum up the Alarma Chronicles. 5) They left the general public behind after Horrendous Disc. Seems to me that Larry Norman is still carrying a lot of bitterness from DA's leaving of Solid Rock way back when. What do you guys think?

He's had a couple of tunes that I liked, but not entire albums like TST, DA, SE and LD. __________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ 07-06-2002 00:01 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala.

Kinda like VH the "collectors edition" from the early 90's where a few songs were cut in half and "it's sick" became "it's slick" the one sounded horrid on shuffle __________________ 07-09-2002 17:26 Jevon the Tall Woolly Eggwhisk Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 943 Location: "You're not from around here are you?" said the stranger to the little man in the wool sweater who looked vaguely like a sheep.

Our war is a spiritual war. I love Larry, yes I do. I love Larry, how about you? His message is real and down to earth. I have really apprieciated him in concert. If I had the cash, I would purchase all of his compilation albums. If he took over the KMG catalogue, the reissues would be great. Of course, we would see 20 of his compilations to every one of another artist... but they would be great. I ordered the Randy Stonehill album and the new In Another Land. Has anybody listened to his Tourniquet cd? I wish that I could find The Tune on CD... 07-11-2002 18:15 Slamhound Normal Noggin Registration Date: 07-11-2002 Posts: 7 Location: We need more rocket packs!
