So here we are with an album with one 42 minutes song. Not sure if it’s been done or not before but its the first album I have come across. There is a live Dream Theater album with one album tracked as only one song, but that’s the closest I know.
‘Seas of Change’ features just the five main Galahad members plus long-term honorary member Sarah Bolter who makes an appearance on flute, clarinet and soprano sax.
Well, as you can see by my ratings that I really liked Galahad prior to this so does it affect my opinion of this album. Are my ratings influenced by the Halo Effect?
Well, maybe they are as I absolutely love this album. The track is a great ride with plenty of changes. Heavy guitars some very subtle electronica, which in my mind is their trademark sound. Run don’t walk and pick up this album.
You may want to think twice about getting a vinyl version as it breaks the song in two
