5.0 out of 5 stars Most promising new prog-band, December 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: On Dry Land (Audio CD)

On Dry Land is the first album of this somewhat unfortunately named Dutch progband. And it's great. Seven songs with an average length of 8 minutes, and not a weak track among them. The album opens with Culley On Bleecker Street, a catchy, uptempo song about a chance encounter with a New York waitress. Oversight, the second and weirdest track on the album, has two different moods, a hardrocking chorus with a freefloatin' refrein. It has just four lines of lyrics, but they say it all: Funny how my life went by, could it be it's an oversight?
Well, I could go on and on about the other songs, such as the dark, moody and despairing Wintersong and the beautiful Hope You Don't Mind, or revell in the sound and splendid guitarsolo's, but you get my point: this is one of the best albums I've ever heard, a prog-rock gem. And this is only their first album! Buy it now!
