Zen Carnival - Bardo (2006)

 

The second album from this band from USA.

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

This band recently released their fifth album. I got this album. I then discovered that I also had two other unreviewed albums of the band. So I decided to review these two albums this week and then their new album this weekend or next week.

I reviewed their 1999 debut album Inheritance back in December 2013 for # 1 of this blog. You can read my review here. I also reviewed their third album Lucid Dreamer (2015) in the same edition of this blog and you can read my review here.

Bardo is clocking in at sixty-six minutes.

The music is a blend of neo-prog and symphonic prog. 

The music is dynamic, but not hard. There are some piano and a lot of guitars and vocals here.

The songs are pretty long. The vocals are good.

The quality is somewhere between decent and good. It is still an album fans of US symphonic prog should check out.
