I love Focus. Jan Akkerman is extra-ordinary and I also like Thijs van Leer a lot. The two of them surround themselves with great musicians. This is also true for the debut.

But this debut is flawed. It has beautiful pieces like Anonymus and Focus. But it also has less-memorable ones. But what is really holding me back from giving this a recommendation for prog fans is the singing. There's a reason why Focus turned into a largely instrumental band.

I decided to give this one 2.5 stars, rounding it to 2 stars. Focus fans should absolutely check this one out. Other prog fans, not so much.
