Color - Új Színek (1982)

 

The second album from this band from Hungary.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

I reviewed their 1978 self-titled debut album last week and awarded it a Good rating. That album is a good symphonic prog and psych rock album.

Uj Szinek is clocking in at forty-one minutes.

The music on this album is pomp rock.

The Canadian band Saga springs to mind. The band sounds like a Saga copycat on large parts of this album. Some parts of this album are also commercial, slick mainstream rock. 

The album also includes a ballad. The obligatory ballad on an album like this. 

There are a lot of guitars and keyboards here. The male vocals are in their mother tongue, magyar.

The music is decent enough. This is not a progressive rock album and the quality is not on par with their debut album. It is a typical 1980s album, the lost decade.
