Mark’s Quick Review: Xanima’s – Planet Hope
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are.
This Swedish female fronted band takes some its influences from modern pop music but still has its roots in progressive rock. I think many fans of progressive rock would think that this is not progressive enough for them. I think I too might biased by the use of pop sounds and mixing to really like this album enough to recommend it. I would prefer to spin Lacuna Coil or Powder before this.
