I honestly don't know much about this band, other than at least one of the two members participates at this site. I've listened to this disk a few times, and to be honest, I only hear a few snippets of prog material in the songs. As far as rock goes, this disk is mostly easy to digest, somewhat interesting, somewhat alternative sounding mainstream. I hope that their full albums are more progressive than this.

Musically, this duo seems reasonably talented. I particularly enjoy Erich O'Dell's bass lines. But honestly, otherwise, I don't think I'll be listening to this one all that often in the future.

2.5 stars, rounded up.

DISCONNECT are an American duo out of New Jersey and this is their first EP released in 2010 although at over 35 minutes this is a regular length album as far as I'm concerned. Eight tracks are offered up here by this duo. One is a drummer while the other does everything else including vocals, bass, keyboards and guitar. I have several of their albums so this band isn't new to me and I've struggled to appreciate their sound. This record is the best I've heard so far but it's still a 3 star album. Melodic with lots of guitar and vocals as they create these somewhat commercial sounding tunes.

"Run For It" is the shortest and noisiest while also being uptempo. It's the only instrumental on here and it has some aggressive guitar over top. The longest is "Darkness Falls" and I love the bass on this one. A mid paced track with some nice guitar late to end it. "Smile" is pretty good too as we get some vocals with attitude which is a nice change. It brightens on the chorus. "Not so Wrong" has some bluesy guitar as the bass and drums support. Double tracked vocals on the closer. "Forsaken" is another pretty good number with a relaxed sound and mid paced. I like the atmosphere too.

A consistent record which I appreciate but the music doesn't hit the spot for me.

3 stars This is my 2nd review of a Disconnect release. After being turned on to their debut album ("Radio Hostile") by a friend, I have been keeping track of their output. From reading the band's information on CDBaby.com, I know that "Fragments" is made up of leftover songs that were recorded during ... (read more)
