FEELINGS ARE GOOD

Lonely Robot is the solo project of the prog rock superhero John Mitchell, who is known for his involvement in bands such as: Arena, Frost*, Kino, It Bites. What we have here is his real solo adventure where he has control of everything related to song creation and production. This is his fourth album, and for me is the second one that I heard after his debut "Please come home".

Feelings are good represents a good album, where John Mitchell plays almost everything: guitars, keyboards, bass and sings, and the wonderful Craig Blundell on drums. The subject matter of this album is extremely personal and contains a well-crafted mixture of mid-tempo progressive rock pieces and some beautiful lighter rock ballads.

For me the highlights of the album are the two ballads "Crystalline," and "The Silent Life", both with deep lyrics and great piano accompaniment, "Life is a Sine Wave" with fantastic guitar performance and catchy chorus, and finally my favorite of the album "Armour for my heart". Four stars to Feelings are good by Lonely Robot an excellent addition to any prog rock music collection.
