I have reviewed several albums from Last Charge of the Light Brigade. Usually I land them under progressive rock, as I have done here. There is always a strand of roots music at play, though. On one release I feel like that was the predominate element, so that one landed under non-prog. The balance is pretty close to going in that direction on this one, too, but I ultimately decided that there was enough prog to keep it there. However you slice it, though, this is a solid album that makes a good addition to the group's catalog.

King Crimson elements are merged with psychedelia, alternative rock and more here. There are definitely Discipline-era KC leanings at play. I really dig the bass work on this a lot.

Primus is a valid reference point here. This has some hints of roots music in the mix somehow, too. This also has more of that psychedelic edge. It feels a little funky, as well.

Now, this has more of a straight-ahead roots rocking sound at play.

Psychedelia, roots music and modern proggy things all merge here. This is an intriguing cut with an interesting mix of sounds.

The groove on this is classy and has a lot of jazz built into it.

This instrumental (there are some non-lyrical vocals) is very proggy and jazz-like at the same time. It's an awesome connecting piece.

There is a blues rock angle to this, but it also has plenty of dramatic prog and psychedelic tendencies at play.

Closer to a singer-songwriter thing, this is packed full of roots music vibes. There are still some hints of psychedelia at play, though.

While this has some artsy angles, it's another that lands more along the lines of roots music.

Intricate music that has a real folk prog vibe is the idea here. Fairly sedate, this instrumental is also pretty.

This feels similar to the previous number at first. Then a more rocking sound takes over as it gets underway. This has some proggy vibes, but also plenty of mainstream rock in the mix. It's a great way to end things in style.
