4 stars Absolutely gorgeous album by this great band!

I discovered IZZ thanks to this site in 2018 and I my taste for them and their related projects has been growing since them. Now, Collapse the Wave is their brand new album and it is one of the best of their career. Like on the previous album, there is a palpable Yes influence on the guitar, bass and keys (which is great to me), and this time there is more variation and dynamism. You can find soft melodic pieces such as Deep Inside, which could have been on a Laura Meade solo work, more experimental ones such as Brace for Impact, short ambient tracks like Brethren or true prog rock epics like We Are the 3rd or the title track, that are my absolute favourites here.

All in all, this is an album to listen quite a few times because is full of details, with a lot of variation in between the pieces and within them, so it never bores. A strong competitor for album of the year for sure.
