Perfect!.......2001-08-11

Theres only one way to discribe this cd. And that is perfect! I bought this cd after I heard a couple of songs on it. I was amazed how he composed his lyrics. I'd recommend this cd to any synthpop fans! Its unbelievable!

Intelligent music with feeling.......2001-08-06

I was introduced to Color Theory about six years ago. Since that time, I have kept close tabs on the music of Color Theory. I have always been impressed by the nature of the lyrics. The albums opt to delve into more complex issues than standard pop and do so with eloquent simplicity. The music exudes a great depth of feeling, while still being precise and smartly orchestrated. (I find that frequently, when artists create a deeply meaningful or passionate song, the precision, integrity, and compositional aspects of the music suffer. Color Theory balances a passionate feeling with high musical standards.) And the music is very well composed, produced, and engineered. Color Theory blends strong melodies, full harmonies, sophisticated musical ideas, and solid instrumentation along with pensive and meaningful lyrics to create excellent music.

A Melancholy Masterpiece.......2001-07-31

To compare Color Theory with any other synthpop band out there would only mislead you. Listen to the clips and you will see what I mean, it is a sound that is familiar yet undescribable. I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes electronic music with heart. Standout tracks are New Years Day, April's Bonfire and For Good.

A synth masterpiece.......1999-12-22

Perfect Tears is a stimulating album from a talented musician. I have never been so moved as deeply as I have while listening to Brian's work. It combines the emotion of Tuesday Song with the brilliance of his powerful new material. I am amazed at the progression of his musical talent. As amazing as his first album Sketches in Grey is, each album has surpassed the splendor of its predecessor. The combination of inspiring lyrics and mesmerizing instrumentation leaves me wanting more when the album ends. I would encourage everyone to check out this synth masterpiece. You will not be disappointed.

Finest Synth.......1999-12-02

I'm listening to Synth since I am 15 years old. During that time I recognized that many bands, especially bands from Sweden or Germany tried and still try to copy Depeche Mode in any way. But that is not the way Color Theory (Brian Hazard) makes Synth. Perfect Tears is the best evidence as it includes a wide spectrum of Synth styles. I prefer to listen to the eighties-style songs like April's Bonfire, Guilt Reflected and For Good. In my opinion this songs are highlights at the world-wide Synth-Scene. All songs are made of Synth combined with piano which make the songs smooth and pleasant to listen. But it is not only the music and the piano playing that is great. Brian Hazard also has a fantastic voice and he gave all songs marvelous lyrics. It is not an album for dancefloor but it is suitable for listening during autumn and winter where things run slower and where it is gloomy outside.
