Far Meadow. The - Given The Impossible (2016)

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

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

This band album debuted in 2012 before they released this album I am here reviewing and their third and so far last album back in 2019. 

I reviewed their first album in # 1 of this blog and their third album in # 2 of this blog. Somehow, I forgot to review their second album.... until today. 

I really like their other two albums and was looking forward to finally review this album. 

The music on this album is neo-prog in the vein of Magenta. Marguerita Alexandrou's vocals is pretty similar to Christina Booth's vocals. 

The instrumentation is also pretty similar and so is the sound too.

The Far Meadow still got their own sound and is by no means a copycat band. 

The music here, neo-prog, sounds fresh and is in the mid-tempo range. It is more elegant melodic than heavy and epic. It still got a lot of interesting details in addition to the very good vocals and some good guitars.

The music on this one hour long album is good throughout. Neo-prog fans should get their three albums.
