PICTURE

A very good first album (as there likely will be another) by this band. You know who's in it and where they come from, so I won't bother telling you. Just don't expect this band to sound like the bands from which the musicians come from. It is more of a prog pop rock affair with a slight 80's vibe to it. You can hear multiple influences here : The Who (track Letting Go), The Beatles (moments in Losers Day Parade and track Swimming in Women), The Police (Leave a Light on), but also things that are their own, as these musicians really now what they are doing.

Technicality is not the main dish here, but nice arrangements, hooks and catchy melodies are.

I enjoy all songs but two miss the mark (at least with me) : Room for Two and The Perfect Tense. Filler songs in my humble opinion.

Overall, an excellent album that is easily listened to and appreciated. Even with the 2 filler songs I mentionned, I always find the album went by too fast when finished, and that is always a good thing.

I am really looking forward to their next offering.
