The fifth album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, samples and vocals.
A female vocalist added her vocals on one of the songs.
The band returned again four years after their less than impressive Paralysed And Hypnotised album. I reviewed that album in # 1 of this blog back in September 2015. That was when I gave up on this band until I earlier this year decided to review their remaining five albums. See these reviews somewhere else in this blog.
The Code is a forty minutes long album. The music is a blend of neo-prog and heavy prog. There is even some pub rock and mainstream rock on this album.
The music here is very muscular. It is also heavy at times. The music is also pretty complex and it has a progressive rock edge. Some of the songs are a bit too straight forward and is lacking in details. Too much workman like and run-of-the-mill mainstream rock.
The music is mostly driven by guitars with the keyboards playing a supporting role. One of the songs has some good female vocals too.
The male vocals is good and so is half of this album. This album is an improvement on the Paralysed And Hypnotised album but not by much. The band can do better.
2.5 points
