Funny, I just did exactly the same thing. I figured I'd give Into the Maelstrom a listen, since the only time I had heard Bigelf was when I saw them as part of ProgNation in Boston. Didn't really like it back then, but I figured I'd give them a second shot.
No dice for me. Two and a half songs in I was thoroughly annoyed by the lyrics and the music.
If I had to classify Bigelf, I would say they are a Flower Kings (but not as good) that raided their fathers' Beatles collection.
