UNFOLDED LIKE STAIRCASE

Unfolded Like Staircase doesn't have many powerful moments on it's own, most of it's decent moments have all been heard before in Genesis or Van Der Graaf Generator, the moods rarely reach anything captivating, and the emotions rarely reach any kind of heights. Nothing is particularly tasteful or strong in presentation other than the guitar, a lot of tasteful solos. The songs all kind of drone, and each song represents rising action that doesn't necessarily reach a climax. There is a lot of good to be found in this album, but the songwriting is very shoddy and not enthralling.
