3 stars A rather obscure band, Rolf Zero belted out several albums in 2022, which isn't necessarily a good sign. In my opinion, he only band that can potentially pull that five-album-a-year feat is maybe King Gizzard. So I wasn't surprised when I finished it and found it to be quite underdeveloped. For example, the seven minute epic, Courtiers in the Court of King Rolph, is made up of a few shorter songs; no, not parts of a song, several shorter songs. There are the pauses and total shifts in tone and sound. Most of these songs feel like repeated basic prog riffs for the sake of getting a practice run in. Obviously there's ability to play, especially considering that the album tried to tackle a lot of different areas of symphonic prog variety and maintained a fairly consistent flow, but in the end, this album ended up nothing short or long of "just okay."
