I hate to gatekeep, but while that has some sort of dumb fantasy backstory or something, I don’t think KISS have the chops to actually be prog. I’d say “bad concept album.”

KISS can be whatever you want it to be, they're there to make your wildest fantasies come true.

Yeah, concept album doesn't mean prog. Prog is all about technique and superseding rock tropes. KISS have never sought to be more than a competent bar band with lots of spectacle. In that, they're the complete opposite of prog.

Ok, as long as I got to post the album cover and make a joke about knockers, I'm happy.

This is a generalization, but unless the album has at least 1-2 jarring time signature changes, I have a hard time with the prog moniker.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 9:25pmYeah, concept album doesn't mean prog.

Yeah that track is great. I chose the ones that might appeal to Tom not necessarily my choices.

At 12 mins should be long enough for those tricky bean stains.
Slow opening, as expected. Sounds like background music to an episode of Hustle. Not offensive but nothing special now the vocals have kicked in. Does it even make sense if I say it's a little dull though very interesting?
Ooh it's changed in the middle. Even more Hustle-esque. Nice thubby bass. Like this. Atmospheric.
Going on a bit now...
Nice final few minutes, good to listen to. Thank you Mark!

A lot of prog just babbled on and is dull to say the least. There are some nice moments though.BitterTom wrote: ↑04 Jul 2020, 5:52pmAlbeit late, I'm tuning in now...Marky Dread wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 5:18pmSorry was watching Liverpool lose in style.

Yeah. I like a lot of prog but even albums I like tend to suffer from this. It’s generally in need of an editor.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Jul 2020, 5:24amBitterTom wrote: ↑04 Jul 2020, 5:52pmAlbeit late, I'm tuning in now...Marky Dread wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 5:18pmSorry was watching Liverpool lose in style.
