Banco de Gaia: Farewell Ferengistan 2023 May 6
This is a Banco de Gaia album review of their 2006 release written at that time, and it's harsh. But it approaches BdG's catalog from the point-of-view of a fan since their first release. I was not, I only came to appreciate BdG later on, well past the peak of the band's fame, and so while I don't disagree with the review, my take-away is different. Yet, I find this review fascinating, because it talks about a musician's inevitable fade from relevancy on each of their successive, post-peak releases, which is a phenomenon I've been pondering a lot lately as all my favorite bands from my youth age in their own way.
