I was recently made aware of this band when there video was on The Unsigned cable TV show. I have not listened to another album since getting this album, 4 days ago. Great listening while driving or working.

Everything about this album is excellent, I would reccomend this album to anyone.

This album is exceptional. Cannot put it any other way. If you like Coldplay, you'll love Public Symphony.

Public Symphony sound like a 1970s prog rock band. Growing up in the UK in the early 1970s I like prog rock. The critics decreed sometime around 1977 that such people should taken out and shot. However, I still love albums like In the Court of the King Crimson, Dark Side of the Moon and the Moody Blues' Seventh Soujorn and I always felt that the Clash and Elvis Costello were overrated. Crimson and the Moodies will never be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's the critics who write rock history and Public Symphony make music which has been unfashionable for a long time.

Public Symphony are Dobs Vye and James Reynolds, who are British. The tunes are excellent. They use keyboards to make it sound like they are backed by an orchestra. There use female backing singers who sound like those used on Dark Side of the Moon. There is even lead guitar which is refreshing. The musicianship is professional and impressive.

I heard the album listening to the BBC's Bob Harris show and bought it several years ago. It seems a travesty that nobody has heard of this band. I went to the band's website, to find if they had recorded anything lately and discovered they are asking for contributions to make a new record. This is very sad. If you like symphomic rock I would give this a try.
