Title: Their OWN progressive sound.
Product review: Why is it if someone works in a similar vein they're accused of musical plagiarism? Was Chopin a ripoff of Liszt, or was it the other way around? Is there some unwritten rule that you can only like one example of any given genre?Yeah, there are certainly similarities, from Terry's reedy vocals to Gary's Rick bass to Herb's use of portamento on the Mini, but listen to the guitars, fercryinoutloud! Yes has a more polyrhythmic, orchestral feel, while Starcastle works in a similar style but clearly with an American guitar-rock edge... and without Kansas' (with all due respect) top-40-ness.Bottom line: if you like good 70's prog-rock, give it a try. I did, and I don't regret it.(Oh, one historical note:At the time this album came out, Yes had officially broken up, which left the field to ELP, Kansas, and... Starcastle.)
