Pacer
Involuntary Movement
Review by Gary Hill
I really had to give a lot of thought to what section of MSJ this review belonged. In honesty, this almost made into the progressive rock section. The music this band makes is almost equal parts alternative rock and progressive, making it a tough call on where to assign it. In the end I decided that the more hard rock leanings were predominate, so they fall into non-prog. It was close enough, though, that prog fans should give this one a serious look. These guys are not far off at all from a lot of neo-prog out there. They just happen to toss in a few more influences from bands like Pearl Jam. Either way; this is a release worth checking out. For more information or to order the CD, stop by the band's official site at http://www.pacermusic.com.
