Hurry Up and Smell the Roses
Insistent piano opens this track and the vocals come in over the top. While there’s clearly an alternative rock meets progressive rock vibe, somehow I’m also reminded a bit of Queen on this. As it builds upward, though, Porcupine Tree might be a valid comparison. This piece really gets a lot of energy and oomph as it moves forward, but it never loses its prog meets pop rock vibe. I can almost make out hints of something like The Killers at times here, yet that Queen reference seems ever present, too. As the arrangement moves out towards spacey territory later it really soars. |
