THE PRINCE OF HEAVEN'S EYES

There seem to be mixed reviews thus far which is understandable. Obviously this is inspired by Genesis but most music is inspired by something that came before it, so the matter of Genesis inpiration is moot. When its all said and done this is symphonic rock with a nice Irish flair and very melodic at that. Their are lots of emotion and sincerity behind the vocals and lush arangements. Nothing complex, but it works. Maybe some people were to busy complaining about vauge genesis references but this is also, quite the concept album with interesting/moody lyrics and beautiful keyboard passages on the opening and closing tracks with above average guitar work and drums. PoHE is a 4 star album on the strength of its orginal expansion of genesis sound and unique lyrics.
