+4626 - COMFORTZONE

As a Beardfish and longtime prog fan, this is one of those neat albums that grabs you all along and grow with every listen even more and more. This is for me their second best! so much good prog in it!

For me, I think these guys gives us a good modern era prog that a lot of band labeled as "prog" don't gives us anymore, THIS IS A GOOD ALBUM GUYS, a very good one that will keep along the history of prog of our era.

The good things this album have is the major and varied influences that it has. In the title track you can encounter a mix of old prog and modern stuff influence on it. Example: I can hear DT's Octavarium on that intro, inspired initially in Pink Floyd sound, I can even hear Spock's Beard's Snow references in there too, Gentle Giant and even more modern acts like "Minus The Bear" things in there, that they shine with the guitar production in their records, and I think Beardfish took and liked that approach.

However, throughout the whole album you can pick point a lot of proggy references, and of course unique passages and sections unique and signature of the band. Totally recommend this album, the good thing is that without fear I can recommend it to lot of people that are not specially "proghead" like me.
