Heart of Cygnus - The Voyage of Jonas

Best album yet from these guys.  Classic Rush fans will probably like this, if you haven't already heard of them.


There's a track from the new album on their website here:  https://www.heartofcygnus.com/


Bought it yesterday and have been enjoying it quite a bit.

hhhmmm... will have to investigate.  Good news is that it's also streaming at www.progstreaming.com (which ironically is where I think I first heard The Anabasis!)

I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Gave it a couple of spins on Spotify, it's pretty good but it needs a listen or two more before I figure out where it sits in their discography. These guys totally channel the 70s without sounding dated, really fun band to listen to.

Mighty kingdoms rise, but they all will fall, no more than a breath on the wind.

I think this one is the most mature of the three they've done.   The production is definitely improved as well.

Been a fan of the band ever since hearing Utopia over 5 years ago.  Jonas is definitely a great album that only gets better upon repeated listens.

somehow ive actually felt underwhelmed and that it drags a bit when played in full...im hoping (and kinda thinking) another couple spins might help win me over.

their last two pretty much had me from 1st listen, though theyre maybe easier to digest.
