Kinda sound like Queen crossed with Asia when these guys start. This is not great. Is this album going to be that derivative of these two bands, maybe others? Certainly not an identifiable sound of their own so far. Opener is basically “Heat of the Moment” rewritten. Sigh. We're five tracks in before I hear something interesting, a track called, perhaps appropriately, “Useless”. All right, the next one is not without its charm, but it's going to take a lot to change my pretty low opinion of this album before we reach the end in ... let's see ... seven more tracks. All right, it's not completely terrible, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to listen to the rest of their material.
