SACRED BABOON

I can't believe this band didn't take off at the time when they made these albums. All the musicians in this band are extremely talented and their writing skills are close to bands such as GENTLE GIANT (obviously no ones that good..), YES, KING CRIMSON and GENESIS. I would give this album 5 if it had more original ideas in it, but alot of the time you can tell that they use quite a few ideas that other bands have used already. But there are a few really progressive, clever bits which give the band their own originality in places. The lyrics are completely off the wall and i don't really understand them too well, the singing has a jazzy touch, but the rest of the band plays at silly speeds, especially the drummer and the guitarist. Anyone would likes GENTLE GIANT and YES alot should give this band a chance.
