Review of "Saving Faded Dreams"

The Strawmen record, Saving Faded Dreams, finally got its first thorough review, nearly a year after it's release. Being an independent release (read "no budget") it's taken a while for the record to build up a little momentum in the marketplace. Gary Glauber wrote the review and it is posted at the FUFKIN (scroll to the bottom) website if you'd like to read what he wrote. I really appreciate Gary taking the time to listen critically and write about the record. It is an even-handed and fair review. . .I don't agree with everything he wrote but that hardly matters. I'm just tickled that someone took our effort seriously enough to write a critical review. We (the Band) took the writing and recording very seriously. . .so it is gratifying when someone else does as well.
