Roberge. Jacob - The Passing (2025)

 

The debut album from this artist from Canada.

Jacob did the drums, percussion, bass, bouzouki, keyboards and vocals himself.

He has help from some guests who added bass, guitars, violin, cello, keyboards, trumpet, programming and backing vocals.

This is a new name on the symphonic prog scene and this one hour long album has already got some world wide attention. 

Jacob was inspired by the likes of Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd to make this album. And so he did.... 

The music is very melodic on the beginning of this album with lots of strings and vocal harmonies. There are some progressive metal too and the music becomes a bit more muscular and harder after a while.

The music is not particular complicated and technical. It is mostly melodic throughout. 

The vocals is good throughout. There are a lot of very good piano pieces incorporated into the music. The music is rather clever and well put together.  

The result is a good album from an artist many has described as a young prodigy. I hope to hear more from Jacob Roberge in the future.
