Even
though 3 years has passed since A.C.T blessed us with their last album
"Last Epic" not much has changed in the A.C.T camp. They stay
truthful to their energy-laden mixture of 70's inspired progressive rock
(Supertramp), melodic rock, AOR and pop.
This
is a solid album nothing more, nothing less - A.C.T fans need not to
worry - this album picks up exactly, and I mean exactly, where the
others left us. At times a bit too close to their previous albums - I do
miss some progression in their songs. Often I find myself thinking;
"Hey, that harmony/song structure/melody line sure sounds a lot
like this or that"!
But
they are still capable of writing catchy songs, awesome harmonies and
great big choruses within their own little niche of progressive rock,
and I think this album is worth checking out if you like your
progressive rock with a lot of emphasis on melodies and harmonies. Best
moments on the album is "Circumstances" another epic song in
many parts with the subtitle: The Long One, just like "Personalities"
on their debut album.
If
you like I have enjoyed their first 3 albums a lot, and then I would
suggest that you rush out to get this album on the day of its release...
Nice one.
