SEAS OF CHANGE

Seas of Change is, without a doubt in my mind, Galahad's crowning achievement; a single, 43-minute, politically charged musical work unlike any other in this day and age. I've often found that one of the things Galahad struggles with the most is their lyrics. On albums such as Battle Scars, they were plagued by uninspired lyrical content that ruined otherwise wonderful songs. Such is not the case on Seas of Change, because they have actually chosen something real to write about. By focusing on the turbulence created in Europe by Brexit, they have not only managed to avoid their usual lyrical pitfalls, but they've also managed to intertwine the music with the lyrics in such a way that truly evokes the uneasy emotions of many Europeans today. It is an absolute masterpiece, and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes on to be considered one of the greatest progressive rock albums of this decade.
