Overhead - And We're Not Here After All (2008)

 

The third album from this band from Finland.

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

One guest added extra vocals on one track.

I am reviewing the remaining Overhead albums this spring after I did review two of their albums a couple of years ago. Two more reviews will follow this spring in either this edition of the blog or # 4 which will come on line next month.

Overhead is a good band from Finland which I really rate highly. That from what I have heard from them so far.

Originally a heavy prog band, the band introduces art-rock and indeed blends it with their take on heavy prog. A take which on this fifty minutes long album is also a nod to the 1970s prog rock scene in Finland.

There are also some hints, pretty many hints of both folk rock and neo-prog here. There is also some Pink Floyd'ish psych rock here too.

The music has a nice blend of melodic and hard music. Both the male and female vocals is very good and the rest of the band does a great job here. Some narrations gives the music a whiff of rock opera too.

The result is a good album indeed from an underrated band. Check out this band.
