With just 7 tracks running at 50 minutes, there’s some excess and overdrive in the oatmeal, but the writing is so accessible and likable, it doesn’t feel like the songs are as bloated as they are at times. And once again, accessibility goes hand in hand with showmanship, for ear-hooking and air guitar finger spraining good times. This is another slick, polished dose of slightly bombastic, somewhat symphonic prog-metal delivered with enthusiasm by seasoned, highly skilled professionals. With most of the crew returning from 2015s excellent Devil’s Dozen, little has changed in the House of Hunt. This is an approach many prog bands seem to prefer using in reverse, with predictably mixed results. While the band was never afraid to wank and strut their musical stuff, they always wrote a catchy tune first, then packed the showboating in the right places. ![]() Over most of that decade spanning career, they’ve stuck to their original formula, taking rock sensibilities and applying them to prog-metal.
