Focus - 12 (2024)

The 15th album from this band from Holland.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and flute.

This band is still alive, fifty years after their debut album.Two of the original members is on this album, indeed. 

Focus has a special sound and their own take on progressive rock. Very few, if any other bands, sounds like them. I cannot recall any other bands who sounds like Focus, in fact.

The band sticks to what they know best on this album. That is sticking to their own brand of progressive rock. That is a folk rock influenced symphonic prog. There is some fusion here too.

The music is entirely instrumental and it is dynamic with the exception of some mindless, album filling piano at the half an hour mark on this forty minutes long album.

This album is a reminder how lucky we have been to have this band in the scene. This album is not this band at their finest. Nevertheless, the music is good throughout and a reminder about how great this band has been.

This is also an album that will give their fans what they want plus a lot of pride and joy. Check out this album.
