Reviews

review by: NunoEvolution! That's the general idea that sticks after listening to po90 new release - More Exotic Ways to Die.
After beginning their career with a tremendously 70's progressive orientation (disguised in a contemporary suit), po90 has surpassed it in great scale and presents us now with a distinctive mainstream sound with lots of progressive hints that enrich their music to extreme.
This album mostly remind me - no in style but in approach - Porcupine Tree's Signify, with their successful attempt of presenting an album with a modern rock sound that is extremely worked and layered with a deep progressive feeling.
Andy Tilson has a special theatrical style of singing that sounds like an edgy Peter Hammil. The guitars swing between hard riffs and emotional calm moments while the keyboards add the necessary arrangements that brings the band well into the progressive realms.
If you take po90's Unbranded... as a starting point, this album is typically an extension of the new perspectives the band has tried with the aforementioned album. There is a new notion in the rhythm section (which is diverse, inventive and very well achieved) that bases the whole musicality. The music seems to be played continuously on the verge of hard rock/prog but with distinctive good taste and obvious capacity to evolve with each singular release. They have left behind many of the base influences of their sound and relinquished something really original and very personal.
This is easily one of purest and infectious progressive albums I have come across this year. What can I say about a swell album from a band I cherish so much except that I highly recommend it?
