Negative Positive
Title: Nothing new here.
Review: I have been in an insatiable mood lately for new progressive rock music buying CDs on a daily basis. I have uncovered some superb new bands such as Riverside, Abigail's Ghost, Frost, Phideaux with the first two named bands being absolutely exceptional. I was encouraged by other reviews to try IQ and this album particularly as being an exceptional and representative example. I think what one reviewer said sums it all up. IQ have managed to be what they are because they simple outlasted everyone else. I was sorely disappointed with this album for its total lack of anything original and new. Musically its fine progressive rock but it is not original. Yes it is Genesis, come Marillion etc. but one thing it is not is anything like Seconds Out. Overall I found the album flat and uninspiring...sorry.
Is the review positive or negative?
