UNDER THE SUN

My only regret is that this site does not let you rate 0 stars. If ever there was an album that deserved it, it is this one. I listened to this years ago in preperation for their NearFest performance. I almost didn't attend that performance after hearing this. But I thought I should give them a chance to prove they were better live. They were not. As the other reviewers say, this is not neo. They are all decent musicians, but their compositions just don't work for me on any level. There is no emotion, no direction, no appeal. Very much what I would call "cheese prog" in that they somehow manage to make relatively complex prog music sound like 80's hairband cheese. Quite an accomplishment. AVOID!!!
