...SOUNDS LIKE THIS

One thing you can not criticize NEKTAR for and that is making albums that sound the same. "Sounds Like This" was the result of a 2 day live in studio recording experiment without great gobs of editing and studio trickery.. They were pretty much just captured live and raw. The end result is still a very much psychedelic NEKTAR rock sound with a certain raw vibe throughout. The big problem with "Sounds Like This" was that it was sandwitched between "Tab In The Ocean" and "Remember The Future" and has forever been sadly greyed out by many in perspective. Let me set the record straight and tell you this is one amazing album. I love the big extended jams that these guys get into and at times actually reminds me more of DEEP PURPLE than NEKTAR. Many tracks rock out and although do not carry the concept charisma of their legendary recordings, does ignite all candles for this music lover. Roye Albrighton's guitar work is perhaps his best on any album as he demonstrates his incredible dexterity and skill with some great solos. This might be really NEKTAR's most rock oriented album but still carries lots of progressive tendencies. This album was originally released as a double vinyl album and clocks in at about 75 mins and really does not stop from start to finish. Overall a superb album.
