Track by Track Review
|
|
A Legacy Starting in moody vocal/keyboard tones, the song suddenly shifts gear, becoming bouncy and more pop rock oriented. It is essentially a good solid rock and roll number with prog leanings. It drops down into a Jellyfish oriented segment, then begins to build on that mode before jumping back into the more rock oriented stuff. This features a moody based acoustic guitar and vocals outro. |
|
Deserve Jazzy and upbeat, this one really jumps forth from the previous cut. It features a nice rhythm section and strong hook. Also included are a very cool guitar break and strong vocal presence. The outro to this one is much like the horn laden "Almost Like Love" from Yes' Big Generator album. |
|
Go! Beginning a bit Floydish, this is a moody sort of cut. It builds slowly in atmospheric directions. It continues to progress gradually, but does cover a lot of pleasant musical territory. It proclaims to be "Wide awake on the edge of the world". |
|
Rich A poppy song with a catchy vocal line, this one rocks out quite well in the intro. It then drops to a more laid back, almost reggaeish verse. "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are". The number really starts rocking quite a bit and is a very strong composition. "Failure isn't about falling down, Failure is staying down". |
|
Built-in Bastard Radar Textural keys start this number, which eventually changes gear into a fairly straightforward and metallic rocker. It features a more sedate and slow chorus that is a bit White Witchish at times. "Every girl on Earth got built-in bastard radar". It features a nice '70's oriented rock break. |
|
Tumble Down the Years Starting a bit like the Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun", this is a straightforward pop/rock number. |
|
Interior Lulu A bit alternative styled, this one starts in a slow rock mode. It builds slowly and gradually, then suddenly jumps into an instrumental break that really calls to mind ELP's classic era. It switches to other prog modes going a bit in the style of rather dark older Genesis material. This is a very strong progressive rock number that keeps reinventing itself. It is the strongest composition on this album. |
|
House House is a dramatically paced prog ballad. "God if you hear me, Throw me a line, Or strike me down" This one features a nice saxophone solo and is rather jazzy at times. |
