For whatever reason, there is a small resurgence of 70?s styles progressive and chamber progressive rock music. In some instances, there is actually a lot of solid playing and production on those albums. However, on this new Caligonaut album, there is honestly nothing good about this album. It reeks of progressive rock mannerisms that haven?t sounded good since the era they came out of. Plus, none of the playings on this album is all that interesting, the vocals are painfully boring, and the progression of the album is extremely monotonic and predictable. Honestly, the current changing of the progressive scene is being hindered by these kinds of bands trying to ?bring back the past? without bringing anything new to the sound they are blatantly copying with. If you like this sound, then listen to the obvious classics from the 70s and 80s rather than a watered-down version of it in 2021.
