ODDITY

I have this album on my MP3 player. It's a nice debut album with lots of variety in the songs. It's pleasant to listen to with all sorts of rock elements. Franck's love for Genesis is clearly present and so is mine. Good vocals and a lot of Hackett influences too, very melodic. A short summary: *Achilles: bombastic opener, a masterpiece (10/10) *The Quind: reminds me of a Trick Of The Tail, very melodic, great (9/10) *The Eyes Of Age: cheerful folk song with violin and female vocals (8/10) *Alice's Earie Dream: bluesrock orientated song, nice change (9/10) *The Last Oddity: what can I say, the symphonic masterpiece (10/10) *The Carpet Crawlers: decent cover with addition of violin and female vocals (8/10) *Alice's Earie Dream (radio edit): not really necessary, but ok (6/10) The Netherlands is a progressive rock artist richer, just listen and wait for what comes next ...
