EYE IN THE SKY

I not willing to get into the debate on whether or not APP is prog. For whatever reason, APP simply sounds too much like mainstream pop for me to really enjoy. What caused me to buy this particular album was the interesting ''Sirius/Eye in the Sky'' combination; the instrumental beginning is something I've heard at random sporting events and caused intrigue to flow through my brain, and the poppier title track wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, the rest is basically the explanation I gave earlier in the review as to why I don't care for APP. Only the Star Wars-like instrumental goof-off-ery in the middle of ''Silence and I'' holds any interest to me. Fans of pop-prog or neo-prog might be more in line to like this kind of album, but I really think the prog here is minimal at best, paving the way for just another pop album.
