ALBUM REVIEW
Their second work is not that much into pure retro prog as the debut, rather a quite blend of modern art rock and influences by the classic prog era (still mainly King Crimson). First half of the album is excellent I would say, starting from the MTV-compatible song "Killer couple strikes again" the overall quality is dropping in some way apart of the great closing track "Lines". This last one actually is closing the circle very well since it fits perfectly to the opener. Best tracks are the first four ones and the last one. Weakest ones I would say the already mentioned title track from their EP and "There's got to be a way to leave" which is a very slow and soft ballad. Altogether not yet worth 4 stars but it seams the way the band is going sounds promising. Maybe their next one will be a real big deal! (D.Fischer)
