Title: Good Stuff and True Progressive Rock
Review: I definitely enjoy current progressive rock bands like the Flower Kings or Spock's Beard, etc., but they do have a distinct retro feel to them (not necessarily a bad thing). Frost, on the other hand, is progressive rock for the new century. Crafted with up-to-date studio processing and industrial rhythms, Frost sounds different and fresher than many bands in the genre and is worth a spin for any fan of progressive rock. Warning: they do not sound like genesis, '70s yes or Pink Flyod, but more like Nine Inch Nails/Arena/Trevor Rabin era YesOne weakness is the vocal performance...or more specifically, the vocal recording/style. Frequently heavily processed, the vocals simply don't 'shine' or carry a song. In fact, in the begininng of the last track "Milliontown" the processed vocals are almost whispered growlings that conflict with the beautiful solo piano in the background.The weakness aside, this is a great effort that will get frequent play in my CD collection
