I felt the band had lost some direction during the last few years, very good albums but too similar. Nice to hear them back playing to their strengths. Great track.
@bestcritic7541 Out of all those bands, Galahad are probably the only band who actually understand what "progressive" means. Enjoy your tribute acts though.
@bestcritic7541 Have you heard anything they've done this decade? They're a breath of fresh air. I like many of the bands you've listed but Galahad seem to be the only group who have stepped beyond the tired rock sound of many of those other bands. Everyone can have their opinion of course but Galahad actually feel relevant to the progressive music space whilst many others have just become their own tribute act.
@bestcritic7541 Actually, to be fair of that bunch, I'd say Galahad, IQ, Pallas, FROST and Arena are the best. Marillion are very on and off. They have wonderful moments and moments where they just appear to be on auto-pilot. Flying Colours, Asia Kansass and Saga are AoR. Nothing wrong with that but they're not doing a lot of progression. Pendragon I can take or leave these days. I enjoyed them a lot around the time of Passion and Pure but they do less for me now. These days I really rate Pure Reason Revolution, Threshold, Subsignal, Katatonia, Soen, Evergrey and the last few Spocks Beard albums have been fantastic. Oh well, plenty of good choice whatever you're into!
