Combination Head - Progress? (2008)

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

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

Some guests added drums, percussion and vocals.

Their 2006 self-titled debut album was an ELP and Triumvirat worship album. It was not a good album.

The band has totally changed direction on Progress?. 

Take neo-prog, add some electronica, some pop/rock, some ELP worship remnants and a whiff of folk rock. This is what we get on these forty-five minutes.

The vocals is both male and female. They are good. The sporadic organs are very good. The sound is good and the guitarists does a good job.

There is not many interesting details here and the quality is not up there yet. I do understand why this band did not get any breakthrough with this album. The music is not good enough.

This is still an improvement on the debut album and one to check out.

2.5 points
