SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU

To acquaint myself with Jadis, I decided to start at the tail ends of their career, picking up the first proper and the last album released. Jadis is easy-listening neo-prog that was always about Gary Chandler's abundant guitar, with backing synths atmospheric rather than dramatic. Compared to the debut, More than Meets the Eye, See Right Through You reflects the aging process - songs are simpler and less energetic, being in the semi-ballad vein, there is less of those crazy guitar solos. But overall it is still an unmistakably Jadis release - melodic adult-oriented rock with proggish leanings. Songs are pretty much even in quality, sometimes maybe too long for the amount of ideas they contain, but every one featuring at least a decent lick to return to.
