A FINE DAY TO EXIT

A "Experimental/Post Metal" band that has, in my opinion, worked at a very high and consistent level throughout their career. A Fine Day to Exit, despite the opinion of others, is my favorite Anathema album of the Naughties. The sound of A Fine Day to Exit foreshadows the arrival of another English band to the prog scene--though this one is somehow thrown into the "Psychedelic/Space Rock" subgenre: OCEANSIZE.

5 star songs: "Looking Outside Inside" (9/10), "Leave No Trace" (9/10), "A Fine Day to Exit" (9/10), "Temporary Peace" (9/10);

4 star songs: "Pressure" (8/10), "Release" (8/10), "Barriers" (8/10), "Panic" (7/10), "Underworld" (7/10).

4 stars for this consistently excellent album.
