Sure, this has short songs, but the musical leanings really land it in progressive rock territory. Still, this album isn’t perfect. There’s one song that falters because of the vocal performance and a few places where placing songs in different sequence would have made it stronger. It’s still pretty cool, though. The blend of musical styles is quite unique and most of the sonic tapestries are really works without any direct parallels.

Imagine, if you will, progressive rockabilly. It would sound a lot like this. There are definitely healthy helpings of Roy Orbisson and other old school rock sounds, but also more proggy music like the more atmospheric sides of Yes and Pink Floyd merged together. It’s an intriguing and fairly unique combination of sounds that works pretty well. It’s taken in some interesting directions, becoming more decidedly progressive rock-like, in an extended section later.
