YEAR ZERO

I found this CD to be very, very eclectic. It's not exactly " classic progressive" in the sense that everyone classifies the genre. It's got some jazzy kind of moments, some space - rock moments and some pyschadelic moments too. What it is, however, is a very well composed and very well performed. It is solid and it is highly enjoyable. I generally don't fixate on breaking down CD's song by song so I won't break the chain here either.

Suffice to say this CD is probably one of those that even if you're not a big fan of the artist, should go into your collection because it has all the elements one looks for in progressive rock albums. Tight musiciaship, odd time signatures, great melodies and a degree of power that can shake the walls with the best hard rock.

Worth the price of admission.
