3 stars I think after hearing their own work on their debut, Communication, Phog may have realized how empty and basic their music was. I believe this because there's a bit of a stronger vibe here on their second, Evidence, that's much more suitable for prog rock. There's less of the empty post-rock and some more symphonics prominent throughout the album. Each song carries a few nice little tunes and tricks that keep things fun for anyone who may like neo or symphonic prog. Of course, it should still be addressed that this newfound strength is only noticeable in comparison to the debut. In comparison to Marillion or Genesis, it's still not exactly prime prog here. But kudos to them for a noticeable improvement. On a quality range, I'd compare it to the improvement between the first two Symphony X albums: less than 6/10 - close to a 7.
