Flying Colors

The amount of talent in Flying Colors is off the charts. All but the singer dude. Anyway, they do nothing for me. At most I would rate their CD's as 2 out of 5 stars. I can't think of a worse supergroup ever. What are your thoughts?

I like their music, but they seem too "produced" at times.

I actually like them. Not at the top of the list of course, but I enjoy their music. They seem to get together and write their music rathe quickly, which makes them sound a little unaccomplished (as a band of course). I guess this is a situation that happens a lot these days. Artists are committed to many projects/bands at a time, they don't really take the time to explore, improvise, rearrange, etc, so it's hard to get very far. 

I only heard their first album but didn't like it very much. 

I like them, but don't love them, so I don't really know how to answer. I guess it should be Yep.

I find Transatalntic good, but they can get proggy by the numbers. However, I do love The Whirlwind very much.

A big fat YEP for me. Their albums can be rather inconsistent, but at their best, they're everything they should be. I may skip a track or two once in awhile, but the highs are so high, it makes it all worthwhile.

I could care less if they were a prog band. For me, the music they write is bland and boring. It's embarrassing with all the talent they have.

Not a huge fan but I enjoy both albums. That said, the new song is awesome in its Muse-like vibe.
