Album Title: Cantus Firmus
Artist: Advent
Nationality: American
Year: 2006
Subgenre: Prog
Familiarity: None
Favourite Track(s): "Remembering when"
Why? Had some nice guitar work overall. Good acoustic guitar sound without any other instruments cluttering it up. Some pretty good electric lead work. No vocals which was nice.
Least Favourite Track(s): "Parenting parents"
Why? Ugh, just awful. So mellow but besides that the singing was just bad. Like a bad broadway show song or something.
End Impression: Just did not care for this at all.
Comments: This is not one I will ever listen to again. I really didn't like the vocals at all. Firmus Finale had that kind of cheesy sounding keyboard thing going on. The GK Contramundum (whatever) sounded like a YES 90125 era rip off. Ramblin Sailor had some sort of pan flute thing going on that did not work for me at all. I'm actually surprised at the positive reviews. I don't want to be overly negative so I will say there was some nice musicianship going on overall, they are not slouches by any means. But my lack of exposure to prog rock overall is due to the existance of albums like this one.
