AGATHORN

Wow! This album truly surprised me. The album definitely isn't perfect but it's close. The sound here is pretty unique, I would say they sound like a mix of Discipline (from USA), and Genesis. The album opens with what I consider the worst track in it "Suffragette-set". This song isn't that great and should honestly be skipped. But maybe some other people would like it more than me. "Mr Suicide" is the next song on the album and this song impresses. One of the best tracks I've heard in a long time. Vocals are great here. Its amazing that they all could sing so well. "Impression" sounds a bit generic to me. it's a jazzy tune that isn't bad. just nothing special. I consider this to be the last average track on the album. things get better from here. The next song "'85" is a true gem. Reminds me of Drama era Yes and Discipline. The vocal melodies here and throughout the album are just magic. Lyrics are great here too. "Good Days" is a fun song. I feel "Harold the barrel" similarities here. I liked the instrumentals on this track too. Good song. Next is "Day-Mare" and wow how unique. This track is so playful. Reminds me of Syd Barrett. Utterly fantastic! The final track "Reflections" blew me away from start to finish. The intro is beautiful. Some parts sound like they are coming straight out of Dream Theater it's insane. Boy does this song rock as well. The vocalist "Henrik Dall" really can sing. I feel like this album is mixed pretty well for it being so obscure. I can't believe this band isn't loved more? maybe because the first song turns people away? In reality I should give this album a 4.5/5 but due to me having to choose between a 4 and a 5 I am giving it a 5/5. The album might have 1 or 2 songs that aren't that great but the tracks that do shine really do shine! This is a must listen.
