Jazz Rock/Fusion

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This is a solid group of musicians that know how to play. On top of that, they know how to create compelling music. All tracks on this album Protocol V are lively, catchy, interesting, and fun.

But...

There have been so many great outputs of fusion for decades. So to make an impact, the record should be different, and push the boundaries. At least, that is how I see it. Especially considering I'm writing this in the context of a prog site. And here, Simon Phillips doesn't stand out. It is an excellent fusion record. But there's no reason to listen to this when you're already having a collection of great records in this genre and you are looking for something new and exciting.

This is why I rate this 2 stars. Not because it is bad. It absolutely isn't. But IMHO it doesn't bring enough to excite me as a prog fan. And the ratings are as they are to shed a light on music for a prog fan.
