COLLAPSE THE WAVE

One of the best USA prog bands, standing proud alongside the likes of Spocks Beard and Echolyn, they adopted a slightly heavier, crisper style of symphonic prog back in the late 90's and arguably reached their zenith with the much acclaimed release Don't Panic. That particlular album hasn't left my I-pod in the last 5 years or so since it was released! This latest album doesn't seem quite as focused and also lacks the epic of that aforementioned album. Nevertheless this is still an impressive and eclectic album by this collective of brilliant musicians. Songs / Tracks Listing 1. We Are the 3rd (8:31) 2. So Many Voices (1:38) 3.
