ONCE AROUND THE WORLD

A perfect marriage of Pop and Prog that puts all other Neo-Prog of the 80's to shame. Catchy without being simplistic and hooky without being too repetitive or obvious, It Bites managed to unify two genres that are rarely seen side by side: actual British-style Pop and Metal-tinged Prog.

Yes, the production reeks of the 80's, but that doesn't detract from som great performances and sterling song writing. Dunnery's guitar playing has some truly unique touches and his singing a youthful freshness that is rarely heard in this kind of context.
