Experiments in Mass Appeal
Rating
Style: British Progressive Rock
Release date: November 17th 2008
 

Two years has passed since Jem Godfrey blessed us with sounds from the British Island, and it sure sounds and smells like an old British brew, and fans of bands like Arena, IQ or Kino should stop up and listen carefully.

While I really liked the first album this one lets me a bit down; sure no two songs sound anything alike, and the experiments are many and varied. But the sound is a bit too thin and clinical at certain places, and I can't find the thin red line that ties this together.

There is no shortage in well played prog rock, and the album do win me a little bit over by each spin, but not enough to fully win me over. I miss some coherence and as a whole this does not make me jump for joy.
