BONE IDOL

Bone Idols song are a bit shorter then the debuts which a definite plus, the arrangement is a bit denser with less focus on guitar and more attention to the keyboard which is good. On the other hand the vocals continue to be bland Everyman vocals, now turning into that generic male modern prog voice instead of Richard Sinclair imitation, meh. The guitar lines have also gotten better, they flow with music better, no longer seeming like barrage of pointless notes. Still, the music is pretty repetitive, arrangement has improved but I don't think composition has.

Overall this album is a step in the right direction, I think Moom showed legitimate improvement, alas they called it quits after this [(pretty sure they didn't become Japanese and start releasing singles lol) there's a Japanese artist filed under their Spotify]

If one wishes to try this band I recommend this album over the debut, yes it's less Canterbury esque now that the vocals have changed but it's become more authentic. These guys were clearly more comfortable in a more rocking style, the music grown some confidence. If you like psych or pop prog rock then don't forget Bone Idol ^.^

Canterbury Sound Score 2/5
