3 stars What a refreshing tunes from this not so usual project. What a nice mellotron tone, accompanying these guitar riffs, vocal effort and lyrics trying.

I must admit that "Sad Song" is little bit cheap try, but pleasant. And also with good guitar mini solo in the middle of track. Indeed, "with the king of rock'n'roll" part of lyrics would suggest that it's r'n' inspired song. After couple of plays, these monotone, repeating lyrics can become irritating. I loved this track at first play, but then it grew and now I'm not so keen on. For comparing, "Time" by Pink Floyd was played for a period of half of a year, about 500 times and still was holding up. I know, it's not fair.

Logically, album with just 6 tracks will have one epic. This one is "Shark Man" which is, put in one word, great. I must say that sound of typing machine shocked me a little bit. Lyrics are intriguing and I didn't get them at the first listening. When talking about prog side, some of these tracks can be accused of being non prog at all. But this one will prove its quality.

This one deserves attention from anyone interested in good prog. Not the best, but good.
