The third album from this band from USA.
The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, electric piano, keyboards and vocals.
An army of guests added percussion, bass, guitars, strings, keyboards, woodwinds and vocals.
This band/project is an entity based on the Rocking Horse Recording Studios. Like minded musicians then writes and records music they like to perform. Guests are then invited to join in and add their vocals and/or instruments. The likes of Tim Bowness, David Cross and John Hackett, for example.
This album is ninety-six minutes long digital and double cd album. The music is melodic progressive rock with some folk rock and celtic rock influences. It has a rock opera feel although I have yet to find any concept here or the theme for a rock opera.
The music is sprawling with some off-Broadway musicals influences.
There is lots of male and female vocal harmonies and some duets. The many musicians is doing a good job.
The music is good although a bit wishy-washy. But the quality is undeniable good and this album cannot be faulted. It does not score many points in the originality stake. Nevertheless...
3 points
