Ifsounds - MMXX (2023)

The 10th album from this band from Italy.

The band is a sextet on this album with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, synths, organ, keyboards and vocals.

A handful of guests added vocals and piano.

I have had the pleasure of reviewing most of their albums.... if not all of them. This in the previous editions of this blog and for Progarchives.

The band started out as a psych rock band and then moved towards mainstream rock.

There is a lot of various genres on this album. From US arena rock, symphonic prog, RPI, some Canterbury jazz, psych rock, mainstream rock, folk rock and pop.

There is a lot to take in on this album. 

The vocals and the more Canterbury jazzy bits, short as they are, is the best stuff here. The worst is the more run of the mill standard rock.

This album is not setting my progressive world alight. It is still a nice album from some, now, veterans in the scene.

2.5 points
