RHETORIC

First of all I must say it took me a long time to get this CD. I read the favourable reviews, but then I saw many others on bands I found they did not add much, at least to me. When I finally decided to get this CD I was not expecting much. Boy, was I wrong! Wonderful melodies, superb musicanship and a very fine lead singer. Yes, the music is very much in the neo prog vein of old Marillion, but they do have a personality and they sound fresh and exciting all the way through the entire CD. I'm really surprised they are not as well known as they should be. If you have any doubts just listen to a track like The Letter: this highly emotional song alone is worth the price of the CD alone! It gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it. and there's 8 more winners to make this one of the finest neo prog albums of the new millenium. NO fillers here. I really hope this band release new stuff like that in the near future. Highly recommended indeed!
