BOOK OF THE DEAD

I was listening to the 25 minutes long opening track with the BritAwards on TV in the background. The contrast between those three minutes long tunes and K2's music was startling. K2's music can be compared to both Yes, U.K. and Genesis. In other words, wonderfully lush with tonnes of guitars and keyboards. The vocals too is great. Unfortunate, some parts on this, a four tracks long album is a bit bland and not in the same league as the three above mentioned bands. But this is still by no means a bad album and I am pretty sure I will listen to it a lot in the future. Unfortunate; the vocalist died just after making this album and K2 is no more. This is their only album, but they left on a high.
