Title: A worthy effort
Review: The Light constituted my introduction to Spock's Beard. It's good enough that I want to hear more, but not so good that I don't want to hear more... you know what I mean?The title track is spunky, eclectic, and, yes, long. "Go the Way You Go" and "On the Edge" are smaller-scale: less structurally complex and more immediately palatable. However, "The Water" crosses some line with me -- a line dividing "interesting" from "obnoxious", so I tend to skip this track.The frequent comparisons to Echolyn should be qualified; they don't sound like Echolyn, but I can see some similarities in their brand of "progressiveness".A good listen. I look forward to their later albums.
