OPPORTUNITY CROSSES THE BRIDGE

There are 29 songs on this album, as you have probably noticed. Many of them are around the 2 minute mark. Each of these songs sounds like the others. It's the same silly guitar picking, which is an attempt to be clever (it isn't). There are many songs that are under a minute, which are named after the various elements. I find these short songs to be somewhat interesting, but not enough to overcome the rest of the album. This reminds me of a band like The Dead Milkmen or Violent Femmes, which I don't want in a prog band. Actually, I don't really want to hear an imitation of Violent Femmes in ANY band. I can't recommend this at all. Fortunately, I was able to pick this up as a Cunieform $5.00 weekend special download. I would have been really irritated had I paid full price for the CD.
