REMEMBER THE FUTURE

This NEKTAR album is a fine work which develops simple rock songs stickied together to make a "prog" epic structure. It has some nice energy in it, but it can get a bit boring sometimes. The first part has some memorable segments, and they rock pretty well in it.

I don't think this is "space" rock, for me it seems more like straightforward rock in epic shape. That doesn't matter though, since i'd never judge a band's work by if it is "prog", "spacey" or "straightforward". If you listen closely, you'll find a lot of good moments. My main problems with RTF are: the vocals, which are a bit irritating; and the simple fact that this album doesn't stand repeated listens. Anyway, ATITO is a better option for someone more into the prog side of things, as well as far as music quality goes that one is also much more interesting, since the title epic there is sublime. But i sure should admit that this may be a good intro to NEKTAR and to prog music in general, because if it is not "complex" or too elaborated prog, it is still nice to get people used to more long song structures. A nice rocker!
