Fifth Season are: Additional Musicians: Tracklisting: The first track 'Shadows Of Hope' is a powerful opening track with a fairly heavy riff, although there are some parts within the track that are more mellow and emotional. For me there's a little bit of Jethro Tull influence here, but overall Fifth Season do have a sound of there own. The next track is 'A Little Rain (must fall)', this is another fairly heavy track with some excellent guitar work. There's a strong driving rhythm with powerful vocals, there's also some sampled voices too towards the end. Track ends suddenly. The third track 'Tomorrow's Conscience', is a strange track, as in one sense it is very beautiful, but in another it has this eerie feeling. The guitar work is just superb with some excellent intricate runs. There's also some excellent keyboards, bass and the vocals are just superb. The next track 'Voice Of Insecurity', starts with some nice keyboards and intricate guitar, with a heavy riff coming in over the top. The vocals once again are fairly powerful. This is another track that has many changes in direction, mood and tempo and the guitar work is simply quite stunning. 'Of Profit To The Wise', starts off with some wonderful intricate guitar, then in comes some superb keyboards followed by some super bass guitar. Later the vocals are added and soon after the tempo rises and a little later on, the guitar work starts to get heavier, this however doesn't last long and the track reverts back to the more mellow stuff, but once again there are many changes in direction, mood and tempo throughout this track. The sixth track is 'Again' and is another track that is fairly heavy with some wonderful guitar work. A lot of the track is quite melodic, but there are a few times when some of the guitar work approaches more of a metal genre. The next track 'Age Of Light' starts off fairly mellow, but one again this track has many changes in direction, mood and tempo and contains some excellent guitar work. 'Birth Of Acquisition', is a powerful track with the guitar work being more metal influenced, but even so, there is still a nice melodic quality about it. The bass and guitar work is quite simply stunning. The final track is 'Enemy Unseen' is a nice mellow and melodic track with some sporadic outbursts of heaviness. An excellent album and lovers of good progressive rock fans should equally love it too. But beware there are moments of heaviness within the album too. So if your main genre is progressive metal, this could also appeal to you. Self released by the band Contact: Fifth Season
