The 16th studio album from this band from Great Britain.
The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
One guest added guitars and backing vocals.
I have reviewed some of their albums in # 2 of this blog. Not all of them but enough to rate this band pretty high. I have still prioritised less known albums and bands.
The music on this forty minutes long album is art-rock.
There are a lot of Steven Wilson and Marillion references here. In particular Steven Wilson and The Pineapple Thief sounds like him if he had not gone electronica and pop on his last two albums.
The music is pretty catchy and melodic. It has a lot of good themes and hooks.
The music is also very elegant at times and to the point as there is not many, if any, wasted minutes on this album.
The musicianship and vocals is top notch. There is a lot of interesting details here too.
There are some good and some very good songs here. On balance, this is therefore a very good album and well worth checking out.
3.5 points
