Sky Architect - A Dying Man's Hymn (2011)

The second album from this band from Holland.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, slide guitar, clavinet, keyboards, piano, organ and vocals.

This band from Holland is an interesting band. 

The band combines heavy prog sounds like the one from Porcupine Tree with classics like Yes.

The music on this seventy-seven minutes long album is very complex and eclectic. King Crimson is a good reference too in addition to the two above mentioned references. 

The music is all over the place within these parameters. Some of the music is really melodic too and the vocals is good.

There is a lot of interesting details here. It does feel like the band has lost control over all the hoops the music is flying through.

The quality is simply not good.

This is still an album somewhere between decent and good. It is an album well worth checking out.

2.5 points
