The fourth album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a line-up of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band returned again after a nine-year album break.
Facade clocks in at sixty - five minutes.
The music here is a blend of US neo-prog, symphonic prog and classic rock.
The music is melodic, a bit epic and very much in the 1980s British neo-prog tradition at times. That means some poppy songs too.
There are also some more symphonic pieces here. Some symphonic prog pieces.
The vocals are a bit too screaming and tiresome. The vocals are the biggest weakness on this album.
I am not convinced about this album. There are some good and some decent stuff here. I am not won over.
2.5 points
