Title: Oh man, what happened?
Product review: Sigh. Well, shoot. I'm not sure about the other reviews here, but I found this album extremely lackluster and, well, rather boring. I am a huge fan of all things Kayak in the 70s (songs like "Lyrics", "Royal Bed Bouncer", "Evocation", "See See The Sun", "Phantom of the Night", etc) and the original first 5 tracks of their 1980 album "Merlin" are 5 of the best tracks ever written and recorded by ANYBODY -- such emotion! I was very excited when I read about this newly recorded, expanded edition of the concept.But, woe and alas, on this new album, they do remake all of the original songs and fill in the story with newly written songs, but all of the songs, even the remade ones, are slow and dull. I tried over and over to get into this but just couldn't.So, a big disappointment for me, unfortunately. I do admire that the band is still around and making music after all of these years, but for me, the magic is missing.
