Third album from this Finnish prog rock band and like
their 2005 release 'Metaepitome' it sees the band go off in
all sorts of musical avenues. The album's overall theme is
one of the human instinct and the will to live. Album highlight
has to be 'Entropy' which is the heaviest song on the album
with heavy guitars and the aggressive side of Alex Keskitalo's
vocal range (he is not a bad flautist either as can be heard
throughout the course of the album). Stunning stuff and a
great tune. Another aspect of the band which draws the listener
is the keyboard work of Tarmo Simonen, who adds some magnificent
swirls and flurries on each song although the epic 'Lost Inside'
(musically very much like Porcupine Tree) highlights his work
well. In fact the only piece of music that seems out of place
is the short instrumental 'The Sun'.***
Overhead play good, atmospheric modern progressive rock
music that has a wide appeal and musically the band are extremely
accomplished. Nicely produced with a rich, deep sound and
no one instrument crowding out everything else. Inside Out
should have snapped this band up by now!
