MILLIONTOWN

And this time, the results are much better than in the named band thanks to the very good songwriting abilities of Jem Godfrey, the other key member of the band. The style of the group is a very powerful neo-prog with tremendous instrumental sections, distorted and strong guitars, and tons of good melodies.

Frost* is like The Urbane (old John Mitchell's band) meets IQ with some stimulating ideas like disco elements (Black Light Machine) and even electronic-industrial touches (The Other Me) but always maintaining a very neo-prog atmosphere throughout the whole record and counting with very good vocals from Mitchell himself. I really like his mellow-deep voice, and in Frost* he sang better than ever.

Best Tracks: Hyperventilate (excellent instrumental opener), Black Light Machine (one of the most awesome neo-prog songs that I've heard) and Milliontown (marvelous tour de force and a true progressive masterpiece)

Conclusion: despite its flaws in form of two lackluster songs (Snowman, The Other Me), Milliontown is an excellent album which contains some of the best neo-prog songs released in the last decade. Powerful, funny and to be enjoyed many many times without being tired of it.

If you like neo-prog, even just a bit, I strongly recommend you check this album out.

My rating: ****
