Title: More like Kansas than Genesis
Review: Maybe it's the hammond organ with mellotron, excellent vocal harmonies, more spiritual lyrics, or catchy melodies, but this CD reminds me much more of older Kansas (circa Leftoverture or Masque) than it does Genesis, Yes, or ELP. The last song, "Time Has Come", is perhaps a blend of Kansas, King Crimson, and Beatles sounds. In fact, several of the songs have melodic touches reminiscent of the Beatles.But there are also some innovations here. "Waste Away" has a sarcastic bent, and "Thoughts" sounds like nothing a 70's-era band would have touched. This work fully deserves 4 out of 5 stars. I guess I'll have to try their other CDs now.
