Welcome to the Freakroom does not at all appear to be an opening album for a bands career. The levels of maturity, quality playing and complexity here on display are normally only achieved by the third album or so. This meaning that you just have to give this band extra points for such commitment and successful quality in a debut release!
All the classic ingredients for symphonic prog rock can be found in Welcome to the Freakroom. The swirling keyboards approaching ELP, companied by a crafted guitar work somewhere between Guilmour, Hackett, Rothery and Latimer with an extra hard rocking tone here and there. The theatrical vocalizations, especially in the excellent opening track, the competent and rich rhythm section. All this interplaying in an almost perfect way, changing pace, time signatures, direction and scope in a abundant way like good sympho prog has always taught us and accustomed us to.
