Octane 2005

"I really like this album. Spock's Beard really found their footing with this album, on the previous one (Feel Euphoria) they seemed a little bit unsure to me, partly trying new stuff and emulating Neal's songwriting. On this album they are confidently moving away from 70s prog rock, towards a modern rock style that hasn't got "prog" written all over it. But he old quirkyness is still there, in small doses. What really counts is good songwriting, self confidence and credibility, and they certainly have all that."
