4 stars Credo don't stray much from the new-prog template as established in the 80s. Spacey guitars during solos and mostly clean ones during verses, emphasized vocals with a pronounced English accent, synthesizer runs. But on Against Reason they do it more energetically than most neo-proggers, and even their own previous work. The mood is immediately set by the rollicking 3-minute instrumental intro in the first song, Staring at the sun. Lyrically, the songs are mostly bleak social commentary - hence the title, Against Reason.

Most proper songs extend beyond the 10 minute mark. But they are not necessarily very progressive, just long songs. Sometimes artificially so, with choruses - albeit very catchy ones - are repeated way too many times.
