Good solid "Rock" album, 2008-04-01
Comment: Although placed as "Prog Rock", I beg to differ. Certainly there are Prog undertones but there is a definite feel of straight on rock in many tracks.
With hits of 70's/80's rock era, "Revolution Road" is an extremely enjoyable 2 CD set.
The musicianship is superb as are the strong vocals from Mark McCrite - who also plays some great guitar - and David McBee(!).
Don Schiff's beautiful bass lines really underpin the songs with such fluid lines. He plays the N/S Stick, a mix of guitar and bass, which sounds gorgeous.
Then, of course, there is Erik Norlander with his period synths - a real hark-back to the days of yore!!!
I took a leap of faith buying this and it certainly paid off, it is very listenable and rewarding - 18 tracks coming in at around 102 minutes.
There are "gentler" tracks akin to smooth AOR, there are one or two with a kind of funky, pop/rock edge. However one chooses to define them the music is good!!
Opening with the brief prelude "Look Up", it quickly strides into kicks into the punchy "Sky Is Falling" - a great (near) opener. Then it's the superb anthem "Dream In Red". Generally speaking, these set the course for a good consistant album.
The 'funky' instrumental - "Ptolemy" is fun and there is a lovely cover of the Moody Blues "Gypsy (of a strange and distant time)" - very nice!
The more I listen, the more I like!
Definite 5 stars.
