Thirteen of Everything (intristing name) is a relativly young progressive rock band from USA
formed in late 1998 with only one album in their pockets so far, released at Musea records in
2005 named Welcome humans. I was very pleased what I heared here on this first offer of this
texan band. Taken the influences from Genesis (Trick of the tail and Wind and wuthering era),
Thirteen of everything manage to create a very solid and pleasent symphonic prog album,
filled with excellent keyboards arrangements and some great guitar lines. The music is
complex, beautifull arranged with some very memorable parts. The album is up tempo with
little moments of respiro like Semprino, an acustic piece with nice keyboards in background .
The voice is very good for this kind of music, he did a great job, nice passages from light
voclas to more in vein just to come with the atmosphere of the piece, good voice. The main
man of the band , is to me, Thad Miller - the keyboard player, who did a very strong and solid
job here, the most intristing parts on this album come from this guy, who I must congratulated
him because he done such a beautiful work with his instrument, from more balance moemnts
with the guitar duo to amore solo effect, the keyboards always shine here, really some
fantastic parts on Flying est, the dark Sleepdance and on The bird in hand. Well done guys
overall, nice album, I like it a lot, with an excellent cover art a painting made by James
Janknegt and inside booklet, with no more then 12 pages. So, I will give 4 stars easy, one of
the most pleasent albums from progressive rock I've listen latley, with memorable and
intricate arrangements and very good musicianship. Even in places the album has a touch of
Genesis '76-77 era, Thirteen of Everything needs a better view, because they worth it evry push
from us. Album available at Musea records.
