QUIET LIFE

More of the same from Fish On Friday - melodic Crossover Rock with definite Progressive leanings. The Nick Beggs influence is more obvious in this album, but that's no bad thing. These guys really know how to write a good tune, and their arrangements are very complex at times.

The vocals were always a bit understated on the earlier a;bums, but here they've enlisted the assistance of several singers to broaden their vocal sound. It really works well. The title track has "call and answer" vocals between male and female vocalists and it really works well.

The degree of musicianship shown here is excellent. The material is solid and shows development for their last release. I have all four of their albums, and am looking forward to their next! A solid 3.5 stars.
