THE SNOW GOOSE

If ever an album approached perfection, this is it. The musicianship is quite superb, the music blends together seamlessly and they don't indulge in some of the pretentious idiocy that gave progrock a bad name. If all progrock was as good as this, I'd listen to it all the time instead of the hard rock and metal I usually have on. The guitar playing is the best I've heard in terms of melody and emotion, the bass player constructs some incredibly effective bass lines (not that hard to play but soooo good), the keyboards are awesome (and I normally hate keyboards) and if the drummer wants to join my band I would love to have him along - he's so tight and technical, he must be a dream to play with. It's all good but Dunkirk is my favourite - how the keyboards and guitars imitate the dive bombers and machine guns is just perfect. A masterpiece worth 5 stars? Of course it is. Do yourself a favour - buy it!!!!!!!!
