Picking my favourite tracks was difficult because there isn’t a bad one amongst them. Influences are inevitable and sometimes obvious here and there but that doesn’t diminish the fact that this is a great album.
Easy to digest without compromising on the rich, diverse taste. And the fact that the public ate it up proves the hunger for authenticity in our current culture…
This is essentially half an album’s worth, and I am really hoping that there is much more to come. I’m also hoping I get to see the band again someday. These five tracks will keep me satisfied for a while, but I have a hunger for more from this excellent band.
Norway has produced many excellent prog bands, and I see no reason why this group shouldn’t join that list.
I find the diverse unpredictability of the material appeals to me a lot, despite the shortness of the tracks. These 10 songs are predominately melodic but with an aggressive edge.
