Title: Rocket Scientists - Nice Modern Prog With Lots Of Keys
Review: Rocket Scientists are an American progressive rock outfit lead by bombastic keyboard maestro Erik Norlander. He is assisted by Mark McCrite on guitars and vocals, Don Schiff (Eddie Money, Pat Benatar) on Stick and Tommy Amato (Doro) on drums. I have always liked these guys, but they seem to suffer from a lack of respect within the progressive rock community, and I have never really understood why. Their sound is more on the mainstream end of progressive rock. Norlander uses tons of old time analog keyboards to give it that authentic progressive rock feel. Vocalist McCrite has a nice voice that might fit in on an Alan Parsons Project album. Schiff and Amato provide solid rhythm. Highlights include "Wake Me Up", "Brutal Architecture", and "Mariner". Really I pretty much like this whole album. This is not my favorite disc by the band, but it is certainly worth picking up.
