Great Wide Nothing - Hymns for Hungry Spirits, Vol. II (2023)

The third album from this band from USA.

The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, bass. guitars, keyboards and vocals.

I was not particular impressed about their mix of Rush like heavy prog and melodic US neo-prog on their first two albums.

My gripe was the omission of any really good songs and stuff.

The band has returned again.... with a mix of US neo-prog and heavy prog. The likes of Rush is again a good reference.

The music is very melodic and is full of good vocals and vocal harmonies.

The music is sunny and bright. There is no darkness in this music despite of the rather gloomy art-work. There is even some flower-power here. On reflection.... make that a lot of flower power.

The quality has gone up a notch and that is a good improvement.

The result is a good album and one to check out.
