SUBSPACE RADIO

This Finnish debut album didn't raise much interest on me. I listened to it only twice and will now forget it right afterwards. I spotted it when I was searching progressive rock from the library database, seeing that it has just one review here. True, you can hear the obvious RUSH influence (80's). And true, it all gets very monotonous and boring. All the tracks are in more or less the same tempo, with the same thickness of sound carpet continuing on and on. No versatility, no songs that somehow would raise above others. Of course they could improve by getting to know them better - but I doubt it. The first two tracks had some effect, but to listen the album through was really getting dull. Nevertheless, I wish these guys the best of luck and hope that they find their right audience and most of all develop as song writers - as players they do have potential to grow bigger. Lyrics were quite the same all the way, nothing memorable, using images like an empty land and open skies.
