ALTITUDE

There have been some wonderful releases so far in 2021 from some awesome progressive rock groups. But, for me, Lifesigns "Altitude" - this is my favorite.

Lifesigns are one of those sort of "super groups" for sure. But the difference is; it no longer sounds like "a project" - it now sounds like a solid Rock Band. One direction, one thought, oneness. This release is one of those very few and far between releases, that is both complex - lengthy songs, but also, memorable melodies. I found myself on just the second listening of this, singing along, already having memorized some of the passages and melodies. That doesn't happen too much in the progressive rock element.

I'm sure others will write about each song, so I won't - except, "Last One Home." The entire song is fantastic, but the guitar solo had me shedding tears of joy, even on the first listening. Subsequent listening's have brought the same response. It is glorious and up there with the gods of the genre's guitar solo's. Dave Bainbridge should be very proud.

John Young should also be very proud of the entire bands performance in this magnificent release.

As I said earlier, John Young's "project" has turned into a fabulous Rock Band. Thank you guys, and thanks to great production to bring this altogether.
