YES - this sounds familiar, November 27, 2006
By todd "3-LOCKBOX" (WA USA)
I can't imagine anyone hearing a song off this album not liking the song, but you'd be way off judging this album by just one or two songs. Very canterbury-folky in places, rocks in other places. Some might think the album lacks focus; it is not a theme oriented piece, which in my case is a welcome relief. Some of these songs are downright bouyant. As expected, the musicianship is great, but the heart put into these performances suggest a real enthusiasm and sentiment for the material. I'd recommend this album to any fan of '70s progressive rock, and of course, it has its Yes-ish moments, but I wouldn't at all compare this group to other keyboard driven bands like Glass Hammer or Cairo because the use of keyboards are kept in-check by a multitude of acoustic instruments giving this album has a very organic feel, not a over-processed, strident sound like some non-metal prog bands do now-a-days. This album stays in regular rotation and I can see fans of The Flower Kings being very taken with it.
