Mark’s Quick Review: Emerald Dawn’s – Nocturn
The third album from Emerald Dawn proves to be the charm. After putting some slightly above albums out prior to this in 2014 and 2017 but the song writing took a leap forward in this album. The album is basically four long songs with one clocking in at 20 minutes. ...
Mark’s Quick Review: Dream Theater’s – Distance Over Time
Well. For me the Astonishing was astonishingly bad. It is, to this day, only concert I ever walked out of. I feel sad about that. Because here is a band trying to do something different and that should be applauded. Instead, it was met with disdain from me. ...

Mark’s Quick Review: 25 Yard Screamer’s – Keep Sending Signals
The album with consists of a few bright moments but not enough for me to recommend the album. The recording seems muted and flat. Its all vocals and symbols. This album has some songs from their first CD they ever came up with and I can't help feel like they did...
Mark’s Quick Review: Karikus’ – The Fold
This is a band I probably should have heard of before this their fifth album. They have played Crescendo and Night of the Prog. This concept album based on a cinematic narrative approach which is really right where I like my music to be. My favorite album of...
Mark’s Quick Review: RPWL’s – Tales From Outer Space
RPWL is one of my favorite bands, period. I have seen them perform in three different countries, so I was super excited to get this album two months early. The band rarely disappoints. The album starts out with a great opening track called A New World which has...
Mark’s Quick Review: Nauticus’ – Disappear in Blue.
Check this out this album is like mellow doom metal. This band from Turcu. So in that way I love that this band really has defined their own sound. That sound really is not something I am falling in love with at this point. They maybe were trying to get a sound that...
Mark’s Quick Reviews: Kalika’s – Enter Kalika
Indian players from the Netherlands sound like a great combination. Well sorry to say this album really missed the mark for me. Dreary sound, underwhelming production. They have over 1000 likes on facebook but not one is facebook a friend of mine. Its possible...
Mark’s Quick Review: Esthema’s – IIII
This album is not really in my sweet spot of prog. Its instrumental and a bit avant-garde for me. The melodies come seem dreary when they were probably going for moody. The first track Be. Goes on way too long and I get to a point where I don't want to hear the...
Mark’s Quick Review: Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate’s – Out of Mind
When I received this album I noticed that even though I had not heard of them I had over a dozen friends that liked them on facebook. I was hoping that I had found an undiscovered gem of an album. Unfortunately for me that was not the case. Most songs I thought...

Mark’s Quick Review: Abel Ganz’s – The Life of the Honey Bee and Other Moments of Clarity
I go into this review really liking Abel Ganz and, frankly, the people behind the band. My wife and I may be the only two Americans that have seen the band twice. Denis, when sending me this album, warned me it was much different than their previous albums. He was...
