Title: The Dear Hunter - Not As Good As Act III, But A Solid Effort
Product review: This one is the second album in a trilogy that tells a conceptual tale about.......well to be honest I am not really sure what it is all about. I picked up the 3rd album prior to this one and I am still not exactly sure what the story is or who the characters are. Anyway......the Dear Hunter are a pseudo progressive rock band that walk a line between pure pop / rock and more experimental epics. The band's vocals and lyrics occasionally steer into emo territory which is not a good thing, but most of the time the material here is relatively challenging. In some respects they remind me of England's Pineapple Thief with some lesser similarities to bands like Muse and Porcupine Tree. These guys are definitely a band to keep an eye on.
