2 stars STARCASTLE's "Citadel" album is essentially a collection of upbeat prog/pop songs with YES leanings. Actually, if you enjoy STYX pop and ASIA's mid-80's stuff, you should find this enjoyable.

The vocal harmonies are pristine, the keyboards are plentiful, and the drumming can be intricate ...but there isn't much "edge" to the material.

If you are new to this band -- I strongly suggest that you try their debut first. The material on THAT release is more complicated and interesting while the music here is "streamlined" and more radio-friendly.

2 stars on the Prog-ometer
