BLACKFIELD II

As mentioned before, this is "prog related" at best, this is no real prog. Still the musicians are very good and made one heck of a pop album. All songs could be pop songs but have an interesting edge usually. Don't expect soaring guitar solos or crazy synths, you won't find them here, nor will you find anything really interesting music wise. Here you'll find somwhat depressing and very melancholic music expressed in good compositions and backed up by really good vocals. Aviv Geffen is a good vocalist too, as is Steven Wilson (but you already knew that, probably). All in all this album is slightly better than Blackfield I in my opinion.

So if you're taking a break frm the heavier prog, then this album can be a nice releaf. Pretty light music, but heavy vocals. If you're about to kill yourself I can't recommend this album, but if you're not inclined to do such thing, then by all means at least give this album a try.

Four stars for a sollid altough not too proggy album.
