Let’s get
this out already shall we ? Yes SOC is the band of Simon ( I am the son of
Phil) Collins where he sings and does the drums. Though there are some
similarities (voice, face, prog rock) it is only fair to try to review this
debut album just by itself.
SOC is a prog
rock concept album around space. We’re facing a easy prog rock mostly in the
vein of popish prog rock (with instrumentals and an Epic) but the album is
musically ( but not lyrically) easy enough to enter with nice instrumentals and
a few single possible (closer to you
has that written all over it).
SOC is a
very prog popish record, easy enough to listen. Not bad for a debut album but
not a very powerful one. Though we can easily introduce people to the world of
prog rock with this album, complete with nice melodies and catchy chorus that
are an easy approach.
Worth listening to. I awaits the next one maybe not eagerly but I'll lend another ear.
On a side note, they did a pretty nice almost full album concert with the flower kings starting with the french date in Paris. MIssed Karmakanic but it was nice to get Moebius slip in full length.
