Armalite - The Position of the Sleepers (2007)

The one and only album from this band from Italy.

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

The band was a sort of a supergroup with members from the likes of Nathan and La Coscienza Di Zeno. Under the name Armalite, they released this album and took part in a lot of tribute albums. I guess the band is no more.

The Position Of The Sleepers is a kind of a journey back to the British neo-prog scene in the 1980s. It is a kind of a tribute to this scene. 

That means some poppy songs and some more long suites pieces of music. This with some pretty heavy accented mediocre vocals and the thin and wet 1980s sound. 

There is a couple of decent to good stuff here. Most of the stuff is decent.

This is an album from and to fans of the 1980s neo-prog scene and it should be purchased and loved by them although the quality of the songs are not the best.

This is a decent album, well worth checking out.
