Arc Of Life - Don't Look Down (2022)

The second album from this band from USA.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band consists of some current and ex members of Yes and the band has been hailed as a Yes copycat. 

Well, they has been described as Yes if they had debuted last year. Their debut album was described as that. 

The quality of those songs were poor, though.

The band has again returned for a second attempt and the sound has been a bit upgraded.

Gone is the synthetic sound and it has been replaced by a bit more organic sound. The Yes influences are there. But we are now talking Yes from their first three albums. 

There is also some more catchy rock here and that has been merged with the Yes influences/soundscape. 

The songs are also better, far better and this is quite a cosy but also a good album. It is an album for both Yes fans and fans of some more AOR influenced symphonic prog.

Check out this album.
