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.
Moron Police’s Pachinko takes listeners on a surreal, emotionally charged journey, blending grief, absurdity, and hope with their signature mix of progressive rock, metal, and unexpected melodic twists. The album spins from introspective melancholy to playful chaos, leaving a lasting impression of skillful, unpredictable brilliance.
I cannot fault this latest release in any way. Five years has been a long time to wait for it but it’s well worth that wait. I and many others now need to wait with bated breath for whatever Chris comes up with next. It’s guaranteed to be excellent; his track record ensures that.

Fallujah, Live at Backstage Munich, Feb. 20, 2026
At first glance, SPACE Quartet might not seem like an obvious feature for an international progressive rock platform. A Belgian improvisation collective built around an electric sitar does not fit neatly into the conventional prog canon. Yet that is precisely why it...
