I will say up front that prog is wholly an uninteresting genre to me and something I am, for the most part, not interested in listening to.

This album was at its best when leaning into the blues rock. The prog flourishes were not terrible, but also didn't help it. I think it would have done better has a Jimi Hendrix-esque psychedelic blues freakout album than as a prog album, but that's my bias.

I wasn't crazy about it, but it definitely could've been worse.

6.5/10
