3 stars Satellite's debut album had a really great cover but musically speaking was somewhat average; their second album, Evening Games, has a completely atrocious cover (seriously, what is it with bands accepting miserably poor CGI when an amateur DeviantArt artist could do better for cheaper?) but musically speaking is a bit of an improvement. The balance this time has swung more towards the band's symphonic and neo-prog side and less towards the spacey, ambient, almost dance music-inspired rhythms that underpinned the previous album (though they are still present here and there), and as a result that those who miss the old classic Collage sound will find it alive and well here.

That said, whilst it's certainly competently-delivered neo-prog, it isn't necessarily all that interesting as far as such stuff goes - you'll have heard a bunch of the motifs on here a ton of times before if you're a fairly well-seasoned neo-prog listener, and if you're not there's plenty of albums in the genre you should be giving your time to before you dive so deep as to be exploring this one.
