Enchant
Tug Of War
Review by Greg Olma
I just recently discovered Enchant. How they have been able to fly under my prog radar for so many years, I'll never know. There are very few bands that are able to take their influences and create something new instead of regurgitating the same music back. Enchant is one of those bands. They have taken elements of Rush, Dream Theater, and Marillion, and rolled that into a style all their own. Tug Of War adds in a commercial slant to make this their most accessible disc to date. Like Rush, Enchant continue to grow and stretch the music in different direction to make each album unique. For those of you who like their prog rock a bit less prog and a bit more rock, I wholeheartedly recommend this album.
