I've landed this under progressive rock, but it should be noted that this is of the more AOR variety. That said, retro psychedelic rock (which could be argued was a precursor of prog) is ever-present here. For that reason and some decidedly prog moments, I think the label fits. Whatever you call this, though, it's a varied and effective release that has great hooks and lots of old-school sound.
