HOMESICK

I have to admit that the coolness of the makeup of this father / sons plus 1 band from the Netherlands gave me a little extra motivation to check it out. I was not expecting to find such a terrific album.

Chain Reaktor have set the bar exceptionally high with their debut album. This is a very high quality output. The compositions are very strong, mature and varied and the musical performances are all very good. There is really good variety here, from neo-prog to heavy prog with a great mix of classic and modern prog elements. The vocals are authentic and likable, with nice harmonies. Did I mention the really strong composition? The production is also very well done.

I don't think many could listen to this album and believe that it isn't a band that's been together for years. But then, the listener realizes that they have been together for years, a lifetime for the sons. Very cool makeup and even cooler album.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5, because of the "debut multiplier"....and it's darn good.
