The Enid
Dust

The Enid is a band with a long history; their first album was released back in 1976 and now they are releasing their fourteenth album if I count them correctly. It is an album called dust, question is if they assume that this album will be gathering dust in a corner somewhere. Judging by awards to the bandmembers and reviews it would appear that the risk of dust gathering is quite small, then of course the album has not been out for so long yet so the risk of dust gathering isn’t that large yet anyway. So what about this album then, dust gatherer or amazing music?

Well, progressive rock music. Very melodic and with a good singer, it reminds me a little bit about a fairly well known band called Queen, you can use that for reference if you want one of those. It is a high quality production, seven tracks and just over 40 minutes of music is what we get. It is also an album of much variation and some complexity; it is one that requires that you give it some time to really get into it. I think that this album is a real high quality production, modern and exciting but with a feel of classic progressive rock music.

It is a great album, strong songs and melodies with an excellent vocalist – they do everything really well and I don’t think that there are any weaknesses to this album. I believe most of you will find this a very appealing album, it feels fresh and interesting and it is really enjoyable to listen to. It is an album you can enjoy over and over again, it has depth to keep you listening for a long time – I doubt this album will be gathering dust, it is much to great for that.

One of the better progressive rock albums I have heard in a while, at least in this particular style. It is very enjoyable on all accounts and all the tracks are very good but I think that the penultimate track called Trophy is the highlight of the album, it is an excellent track – but then again, the entire album is excellent. I would summarise this as a brilliant album, well worth spending some money on.
