Artist: The Mute Gods
Genre: Progressive Rock
Nationality: English
Release date: February 24
Position in Discography: Second
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Very
Average RYM Score: 3.13
Another supergroup, eh? I really think the day of these coalitions of talent has come and gone, and personally, even as a proghead, I don't recognise any of these names. Oh look! One of them was with Kajagoogoo! Very progressive! Tardigrades are, apparently, microscopic creatures who dwell in water. Here, read more if you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

Still, annoying supergroup tag aside, is this album, their second, any good? Nice, if predictable, instrumental intro then do I assume it's a concept album? With titles like “Animal Army”, “The Singing Fish of Batticaloa” and the title track, it seems like it might be. So far it's pretty good I must say. Kind of reminds me of Spock's Beard. I'd say it's a decent album but I've heard far better. Even as a proghead I wouldn't be going mad about this, though I might listen to it again at some point.

Check out more from this artist? Maybe
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Always

Expectation Index: 3
