5.0 out of 5 stars downright grand, September 5, 2002

i picked up this cd at the tower records in shibuya (which is in tokyo, japan). i was shocked to find kba there- i'd never seen their albums outside of oregon before.
what can be said about the 8 minute pop song? it's a brilliant concept. the melodies are smooth, and the band has actually added the use of a chorus and of hooks. compared to 'sunlit' (which is actually a better album), 'loves a long song' is a simple and easily accessible work. it also translates better to the stage; i've seen them quite a few times, and the songs from this album work perfectly live. the running times of the songs might seem kind of long, but eventually it just carries you away, and you don't notice at all that the last song is... 12 minutes long.
the only criticism i could make would be that daniel is not the top lyricist out there- however, the words fit fine with the music, which is the main selling point. when i first heard this, i thought that some of the songs could get radio play, which would lead to a wider audience for kba; although i think that their audience has expanded, it is not to the level i had hoped.

this album deserves a listen based on sheer beauty. it is gorgeous and melodic; soft, sad, and sometimes rockin'. it's just good. it's just really, really good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cosmic Journey, December 28, 2007

This is perhaps my 3rd most favorite of the King Black Acid albumns. It was the first I bought and I loved it so much I had to have more. I won't compare them to other bands or singers. Your either a KBA person or you're not. I enjoy this music because many of the tracks are of significant length. If you like short sweet pop songs you might want to look somewhere else. If you like to take a journey into the realms of time and space then check out some of the tunes this group has created. It is a trip worth taking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Earlier efforts a better, but great anyhow., October 26, 2003

One person gives 5 Stars to Britney Spears because she is soooo talented and 1 to King Black Acid?!? , well, there you have it, anyone that compares a high caliber rock band to anything done by Britney is absolutely deaf, so read well the other comments and ignore the one that is so out of context and fairness.

Listen to the earlier albums, this guys are good, very good indeed !
