That is sandwiched between radical pieces of bread. I really appreciated the sudden drop into the hypnotic middle piece The last track "Lightworks" is another winner. "Machine Mother" also rocks in the guitar arena. "Men & Monsters" is a greatĮxplosive track reminiscent of a few tracks on previous albums. "State Insane", "Cinnamon Highway" and "Fog City" do nothing much for me. Larsson and that collides into a great slower piece that grinds through the song's name. Great one with a great deal of layers transitioning from one style into another. "Signals" is a good track once again heavy on guitar. Guitar solo is amazing and probably his best. "The Assemblers" is a well crafted track. "A.I." comes out of the shoots as an intro with guitar at the forefront. So much of this album is very strong and is probably the closest thing to metal this band has ThisĪlbum has the best work by Sven Larsson! I thought at first they must have gotten a new guitarist. Their previous albums were heavier on keyboards than guitars. In many ways "Engines" is my favorite album. Theirįacebook page had them recording and laying down tracks and stating in 2015 that a new one was coming andĪfter silence they came back and stated that they would no longer go on. I was so looking forward to another album but sadly they disbanded. After getting their entire libraryĪnd hearing them over and over again I can conclude that this album for me is the last good album. When I ran into this band I was stunned! Each album has something great to offer. Many bands that came into play after 1985 and some of them have been incredible to hear. Prog feeling like there was nothing out there fresh, it wasn't until about 2009 that I climbed out from under my rockĪnd started doing research and found out that prog had been progressing all along! I have since discovered so Galleon is a band that this old proghead had never even heard of until 2014. This is one of those albums that you have to really search hard to find anything on it that lives up to the greatness The last track "Rain" left me saying "WHAT? Is that it?" Overall it is as if they were struggling to findĪnything fresh. "Over The Hills?" prods its way along not really going anywhere. "Child's Play has some good stuff in it as "Wallflower" is the best track on the album and has some good transitions. They were working on one in 2014 but a few years laterĬame their announcement that they were done. Maybe this is why they chose not to put another one out. I had expected something similar but not only did the guitar workīecome more laid back but the album overall for me is very unmemorable. Surprises in it and the guitar work was stellar. Galleon pushed out "Engines Of Creation" 3 years earlier and it wasĪ smash! In many ways it is generally their best work in my opinion. I am not sure what happened with this album.
