2.5 stars

The follow up to "Wakeman and Wakeman" album. It has more variety than its predecessor, and Adam Wakeman again joins in to play fun songs, rocking songs, serious songs (like the touching 'Dream The World Away') and father+son jamming time!. While the rocking and fast-paced opening track is very good, the rest of the album for me can't keep up with the same quality as the title track except for the energetic 'Dylic' (with synth solos crashing with orchestra hits), and the highly melodic 'Children of Chernobyl' piece.

My Grade : D+

No expensense spared is an interresting, amusing and entertaining album. The Wakemans again show that keyboards can be used to make rocking music. You do not need a guitar for it! This is a more entertaining album than its predecessor. Of course, the Wakeman style of playing and composing songs is recognizable. But for someone enjoying the Wakeman style, I can recommend this album.

I tend to rate this album as a four, but regarding the rating definition, 3 stars fit better. Even after a few years, No expense Spared is not starting to bore. And that indicates the quality of the music.
