EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS ...

The band continues their hot streak with another fantastic album, with this one having a new producer (Peter Henderson) and a bit warmer and gentler sound than previous albums. Filled with great melodies and appropriately proggy instrumental flourishes, the album produces lovely soundscapes and atmosphere. Highlights include Roger's beautiful Even in the Quietest Moments followed by Rick's personal solo piano and vocal love song, Downstream, so moving and pure, and absolutely captivating. The album concludes with the sensational From Now On, with it's evocative moods and atmosphere followed by the epic production of Fool's Overture, with its multiple sections and collages of sounds and styles. Overall, a more subtle album than the previous two, but just as magnificent. The only let-down is the just OK pop opener, Give a Little Bit. Best Tracks: Downstream, From Now On, Even in the Quietest Moments, Fool's Overture, Loverboy. Weak Track: Give a Little Bit. Rating:4.5 stars
