 I love recieving music in the mail from bands that I've never heard of before. It's always a surprise when I first pop the CD into the stereo. Kiyoshi Graves is a great artist. This album really surprised me when I first listened to it. I love it. From beginning to end, it's a good album.
I like to judge music on the following categories:
1.)Artwork on album. This is a good way to show people how amazing your music is - without the music! A good album artwork can make or break bands. Just look at Pearl Jam.
2.)The way each song compliments each other on the album. If I listen to a CD all the way through, I want to feel as though I'm taking a journey. This album (CHASE) is a perfect example of that. Inspired by a dream that Kiyoshi had, this album is a musical journey. That may sound stupid, but if you listen to the album then you'd realize what I mean.
3.)What the overall tone of the songs are about. Like I just said, this album was inspired by a dream. That's the tone. It's deamy. I like it.
4.)Musicians that actually contact me to ask what I think of their music. Call me old-fashioned, but I like hearing from the artists when they submit me music. I think it's nice and considerate. Think about that, Metallica!
So, those are my categories that I like to judge submitted music by. This album well-exceeds my standards. He's got a great voice and a great talent. I can close my eyes when listening to Chase and just daydream it. It's really cool. I recommend this album to anyone who likes Southern Rock, Paul Simon, and the Who. Expect more from this guy.
