The second album from this band from The Netherlands.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band returned again one year after their debut album Touch Wood.
Touch Wood was a pretty good album somewhere between symphonic prog and neo-prog. Pendragon was a good reference on that album.
Facing The Sunset sees the band moving a lot more towards symphonic prog. The songs are around ten minutes or longer.
The songs are also bold and epic too. In particular the opening title track which is some of the best thing this band has ever written and recorded. It is a great fifteen minutes long epic song.
The rest of the album, the remaining three songs, is good to very good. The closing twenty minutes long epic Hidden Dreams is a good epic.
This one hour long album has some good vocals and some very good guitars. It is altogether a very good album and one of the better post-millenium prog albums from The Netherlands.
Check it out.
