Review: Queensryche – Condition Human0 (0)
Band: Queensryche Album: Condition Human Reviewer: Nick from When Prog and Power Unite Audio Review Queensryche Website Buy on Amazon Queensrÿche is one of the few bands around in which I cannot find myself easily separating the intra-band politics and history from the music. In 2012 the band had a very ugly and public split with long time vocalist Geoff Tate. The resulting legal battles led to multiple years of two competing entities using the name “Queensrÿche” while releasing new music and touring. Those issues are settled now, with Geoff...

Review: Gavin Harrison – Cheating the Polygraph0 (0)
Band: Gavin Harrison Album: Cheating the Polygraph Reviewer: Joe from When Prog and Power Unite Gavin Harrison Website Buy on Amazon Some tribute albums are genuine labors of love. Most feel more like quick cash-ins. Thankfully, Cheating the Polygraph is something different entirely; it’s not a tribute album as much as it is a challenging and imaginative recreation of its source material. While Gavin Harrison is best known for his work with the indefinitely suspended Porcupine Tree, he’s contributed his talents to acts such as King Crimson,...

Review: IZZ – Everlasting Instant0 (0)
Band: IZZ Album: Everlasting Instant Reviewer: Nick from When Prog and Power Unite IZZ Website Let me start with a confession.

From the very start of the album I enjoyed the lack of denseness in the music. Too often bands seemingly play all their instruments, all the time, creating walls of sound that get packed into the music. Clear keyboard or...
