Negative Positive
Title: amazing debut
Review: John Mitchell is awesome here vocally and even better with his guitar. I don't even particularly like Arena, It Bites, Porcupine Tree or modern Marillion and for me Kino goes off in a new direction that blends the best of all of them. The ex-porcupine tree drummer Chis Maitland rocks and John Beck is solid. Losers Day Parade is the type of song that amazes you with its complexity and amazing drive. Not really Prog but probably better. I hope they make it through more albums than Transatlantic and feel this is a stronger album then either Trans album.. Kino's biggest strength is their original attack on the music. However, if you are looking for retro Prog I would pick up something else.
Is the review positive or negative?
