Preacher - Aftermath (2016)

The second album from this band from Ayr, Scotland, UK.

The band was an eight man big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This is my second meeting with this band and their music after reviewing their 2014 debut album Signals. An album in the commercial Pink Floyd style.

The band must have hit something they liked on Signals as the band is continuing in the same vein on Aftermath.

The music is a mix of commercial Pink Floyd, a bit neo-prog and a lot of big sound rock. Even David Bowie has sneaked in here as the band has taken a lot from his most commercial moments.

Preacher plays in short commercial rock with some progressive rock elements. Let's not beat around the bush here and label it as something else or more arty than that.

This is for the most of us good music. It is music that deserve millions of more listeners than they get through the likes of this blog and being associated with progressive rock. But that is today's music scene.

There is some meaty guitar solos here and that brings the album up a notch in my view. An album which is OK at times but which bores me a bit after the fifth time on the speakers.

Nevertheless, this is a good album and one to check out.
