2 stars Not neccesarily being a virtuoso with your instrument makes you a music composer, less a notable one & even less a groundbreaking one.

Yes, this UK trio can raise hell with their performing skill, speed and precision but at the end of the day it all seems like a fireworks display, a good one, but a display which could easily be replaced by another one and another one and another one.

There is a label I use for this kind of releases "music for performers" like a good way to pump your performing abilities by listening and recreating a difficult music score but as sole listener there are so many options of hyper-talented performers who also deliver (sometimes difficult & sometimes not) outstanding scores and the full package seems way far more appetizing than just half of it, if an example is needed the colored King speaks for himself.

So, to speak no more evil, I will certainly point out that this release (their first, as it seems) by Three Trapped Tigers: Route One or Die (2011), an 8 track (vocal less) album, covers all the performace protocols required to be inducted in these Progressive Rock Music archives which is like a very honorable passing grade. Now I hope they start delivering memorable music not just very good or even excellent performances.

As far as rating it, I´m tempted to go for 3 stars, but deep down inside it will be like a disservice to much more better music composition 3 stars albums I have already rated.
