Hogweed Returns

Well this is quite a surprise for me! This is the first review of the album from our Belgian progrockers Machiavel. Although their first 3 albums were progressive rock, with the highlight for me "Mechanical Moonbeams" including the hitsong "Rope Dancer". Then it became more commercial with pop orientated music. Not my cup of tea, but this album has 2 beautiful progrock songs with "Drop The Mask" and "Afterlife" where they go back to their roots in the seventies. Here the Phoenix rises from the ashes and I hope in the future they will produce more of these great songs. 4 stars for me ****
