DOOMSDAY AFTERNOON

There is little to say about this album that hasn't already been said. Great orchestration, melodies, an album that takes you on a true journey. Sure, there are some slower moments, but there are some quicker-paced moments too. It is the whole, flowing concept that counts in the end, and it turns out to be an interesting and rewarding listen. This is undoubtedly one of the best albums of 2007, and a fairly surprising one in many ways. PHIDEAUX's previous works, although good, appear somewhat unambitious alongside, preferring riffs to this more compositional approach. I certainly wont be complaining about the evolution, though, and I would highly recommend this album to anyone that enjoys their prog varied with multiple influences (PINK FLOYD and GENESIS come to mind, but also WHITE WILLOW).
