Kade - nothing from the fantastic first three albums? Not a fan of the original vocalist?
Brent was the one that got me into these guys so a massive shoutout to him but I might have already had State of Mind in the CD collection, not sure, maybe not though. I did weigh up everything and while the musicianship is fantastic, the original vocalist is a bit much for me. I much prefer Parry's voice and thought maybe a safer option for Rich. I just find this particular album really really good and probably my favourite. I think they nailed it with the prog side and some good melodies. The melodies don't stick out straight away but it's a grower. I thought about going half half and putting maybe The Grand Change, Clean Up Your Act or Trouble in Paradise but wanted to stay consistent with the sound.
Got it - yeah, for me, while Parry is a great vocalist and Hovinga is perhaps a
little much, the first three records (and Labyrinth of Dreams, in particular) hold a very special place in my musical heart
Great songs you mention there, by the way.
