THE SEVENTH HOUSE

I found myself liking this quite a bit, at least until it wore off. It is as representative of this type of prog as any recording of their contemporaries...comparisons to Marillion or The Flower Kings are inevitable. Kind of poppy at times but thoughtful and well done overall. Nichol's voice grates on my nerves a bit sometimes, the lyrics are at times very good, at times not so great. There are quite a few derivative parts, in fact the opening couple of minutes seem like such a rip off of "The Song Remains the Same". If you like Dark Matter, give this a try, it is quite different but (almost) just as good.
