LIFESIGNS

I found this album disappointing. If there is a point of comparison it would be post-Gabriel Genesis, but while there is much technical proficiency on display here I found this is album so laid back that it lacked energy and therefore interest.

A particular problem for me was that I found the vocals bland and unengaging. I imagine that if they had recruited a really top notch vocalist this could have become a much more interesting album, but as it is I find the vocals just hold my attention sufficiently.

Unless you like *very* mellow prog I would judge that this album should come way down your to-buy list, because there is much more new exciting music out there at present.
