DUCK

The Aristocrats

Heavy Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Some have the opinion that Marco and Guthrie overplay and are only showing off their musical abilities. And because of that, their compositions and playing are labeled soulless. I say that is the biggest load of hooey I've ever heard. The Aristocrats are the best trio in modern music. When they aren't together as a band, creating extra-soulful music and amazing folks at their live shows, they are in demand as session musicians, or working on solo projects.

This is their fifth studio release and it's killer. It clocks in at 59:41 and not one second is wasted. I loved it instantly and "Duck" just gets better after each listen. Not only is it a very lively and playful collection of songs, but I've never heard them tighter or more confident. Every track is solid, the production is excellent, and the artwork is super cool. There is also a guest violinist on the last tune.

"Duck" is an album full of passion, soul, and fun that should be heard by all music lovers. This puts the bar pretty high to top for album of the year. A release worthy of five stars. Thanks guys!
