From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Don't Open is a debut album by the Belgian trio Recreation noted for its unique space prog sound that blends prominent, mesmerizing organ lines with subtle guitar textures and dynamic bass/drum interplay.

The album leans heavily on instrumental depth and a distinctive, art-rock sensibility, featuring experimental original compositions alongside inventive cover versions (notably "California Dreamin'" and a Lovin' Spoonful classic "Summer in the City").

While some reviewers point out that its experimental approach and uneven songwriting can be polarizing ? describing certain tracks as timid or diluted ? the album is widely appreciated for its bold, innovative sound and remains a memorable, genre-defining record for fans of hard prog and avant-garde rock.
