"This is my first album review on progfreak.com
Although not as nearly as experimental as Count Zero's previous album, Robots Anonymous , this album may take a few listens to be fully appreciated. Little Minds is my personal favorite Count Zero album (I haven't listened to Affluenza as of this review) since it's the most consistant and polished of their albums. This album is also distinguished from other Count Zero albums by the steel guitar that's featured in every song (which fits the music almost perfectly.) Guitar solos don't necessarily take the stage on this album, but every instrument contributes to the music like clockwork. I must say that I love the drums on "Sail Your Ship By" (which happens to be featured as a bonus song on Guitar Hero 1.)
The closest "sound" I can describe this album is like a mix between Radiohead's OK Computer and Incubus's Make Yourself."
