NUMBER SEVEN

Let me begin my review by first saying how appreciative I am that Phideaux is out there making music like this! I gave this album 5 stars, not because it is the best they have released (that crown still belongs to Doomsday Afternoon) but because it is so enjoyable in every aspect. Like any good prog album, it takes a few listens to fully detect the nuances and sheer brilliance of the music. I feel that I have finally listened to it enough to say that number 7 really is an amazing album. The ambiance and mood of the album in its entirety is something you will find no where else and is exactly why i so look forward to Phideaux continuing their releases. I won't review each song separately seeing as many people already have but I will encourage doubters to listen with an open mind and a little bit of patience because the payoff is so rewarding. Its soothing melody after melody with catchy themes and phrases sprinkled everywhere. The creativity and freshness is quite clear to me. Highly recommended. Keep them coming Phideaux!
