Album reviews:

...At nearly ten minutes the concluding Little Green Men may be the album's longest song but in my view contains all the necessary ingredients to have been developed even further. That’s especially true of the rousing vocal melody that appears around the midway point. Given more weight it would have also a made a cracking finale. Elsewhere the beautifully structured instrumental arrangements are capped by majestic guitar work occasionally doubled by synth. The end result is a gloriously uplifting surge of sound which never loses its firm grip on the infectious melody. Following a (not very original but effective) false piano ending, a neat drum fill launches an expansive instrumental coda to end as it began. Apart from my earlier comments there is hardly anything to fault this impressive debut album from Leap Day. True, it doesn’t break new ground and despite the consistently high standard (there isn’t one bad track) I would find it difficult to single out anyone song above the others. That being said if I could only listen to two tracks then I would happily settle for the opening and closing tunes. If you have an insatiable appetite for tuneful neo prog where the musicianship is of an unquestionably high calibre then this is undoubtedly for you. Oh and by the way guys many thanks for the name check given to the DPRP in the liner notes.
