4 stars After the uneven "Versions of the Truth", progressive veterans The Pinneaple Thief have returned with an album worthy of their legend!

Once again released by Kscope and produced by the group itself, this time they bring us an album that follows in the somewhat more direct and hooky wake of "Dissolution", and that although it does not reach the quality of this one, it does manage to offer a resounding album, very well composed and in which almost nothing is left over or missing.

As always, highlight the enormous work of Gavin Harrison on the drums, perhaps a little more restrained but just as effective, and the addition of Beren Matthews on the guitars, who is a very talented guitarist who has also accompanied them on tour for a few years now, and who can almost be considered the fifth member of the group.

So if you somehow lost faith in The Pinneaple Thief with "Versions of the Truth", I invite you to listen to "It Leads to This", because without a doubt it is going to become one of the best British progressive albums of 2024.

Best Tracks: Put It Right (I love the interlude of the song, which almost reminds me of Massive Attack), It Leads to This (a song with a lot of hook), The Frost (intimate and intense, pure The Pinneaple Thief), Now It's Yours (the slowest song on the album, but also one of the best) and Every Trace of Us (my personal favorite on the album, very intense and with an amazing instrumental section)

My Rating: ****

The Crow | 4/5 |
