Italian band Moongarden was born in the early 90's and A Vulgar Display Of Prog (2009) is so far their most recent record.
Everything in this package made me not think about Prog Rock and I get it and I was almost right...The album starts with 'Boramire' and you can notice that the band is trying to be modern. Prog is there but at the same time something in not 'quite right'. Maybe blame the heavy David Cremoni guitars. Glues on the first track comes 'Aesthetic Swegery' and once again the electronic bits made me cringe. 'Mama' and 'After The Madman' continues bringing us lots of electronics. This will be only changed in 'Wordz And Badge' that is heavier, including the bass. Here the band tries to mix Nu Metal (?!?) with Prog Rock. To save a bit of the album we have 'Demetrio And Magdalen'. Good melodies and acoustic guitars. Good track. 'Enter The Modern Hero' sees the band modern again. The closing track 'Compresion' is the longest (around 17 minutes) and tried to evoke Prog back, but it's too late. Especially at the 13 minutes mark when we have some rap (?!?) parts. Moongarden was trying to change? Reach new audience? Fail! I've seen that in another flop: Quidam's Saiko. Both mediocre albums.
