This album was recently voted 'Album of the Year 2007' by Classic Rock Society! So what does that tell you!?

I saw Galahad at RosFest in 2007 and was very much taken by surprise. They were simply superb. It is a great 'concept' Cd, as all the songs are related. The music is heavy, powerful, rich and deep, melodic, even
haunting.

The lead singer, Stuart Nicholson, has one of the best voices I've ever heard, truly exceptional. Roy Keyworth on guitar and Neil Pepper on bass create an amazing sound, dare I say clearly influenced by early Genesis! Spencer Luckman is solid on drums and Dean Baker on keyboards provides the integral sound on this cd.

My favorite groups include Genesis, Camel, Nektar, Wishbone Ash, Opeth, Pendragon, Marillion, IQ, and Porcupine Tree. And I simply love this music, so that should also say something about the music.

This is certainly their best work. I also recommend the CD's Sleepers, Year Zero, and Other Crimes & Misdemeanours III (out of print) although I hope the band are working to re-release some of these.

If you want music samples, go to their website! You will be glad you did!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great, May 4, 2008

I like this CD. The music is pretty tuneful and that is what I ask from Progressive Rock. But there is something nagging at the back of my mind, a word that I'm reaching for.. And that word is "bland". And noodling over idiotic quotes from President Bush is hardly groundbreaking.

And then we have the last track with that minute of silence on the end. Bands who do that ( Marillion included ) have got to realise by now how irritating that is.

I will probably check out their next effort.

Wow! This band has released a real powerful gem here. Every song is great but I especially like Termination, Sidewinder and Empires Never last. The singer is great with quite a range. I'm glad I discovered this band. Amerigus needs to discover these guys. I recommend to start with the DVD. It's a great show.
