5 stars The Swedes in Brighteye Brison deliver a flawless album with Believers & Deceivers. I tend to go for albums that at first listen has at least something that grabs me enough to make it worth listening to again. After that it has to have enough depth not to make me bury it deep down in the archives. Well, the first time listening to this album was an electrifying experience. The opening track Pointless Living just has that deep impact of originality and when the short but intense instrumental part takes off I'm no longer in doubt that this band is destined to go far. Brighteye Brison are very much influenced by 70's progressive rock like Genesis and Gentle Giant which is obvious in the use of many counterpointed parts and analogue instruments. However the spirit of the album to me lands in the tradition of the distinct late 70's/early 80's reminding me of albums like Drama by Yes or A by Jethro Tull. The drive and strong force of the performance of this tight band is much welcomed and I love it! Another trademark for Brighteye Brison is obviously the grand vocal harmonies which are used to astonishing effect. I keep coming back to this album and I still find it very engaging. With epic songs The Harvest and The Grand Event this album has enough to make me going for a long time to come.
