SAME
Written by Magnus Florin

The main and most interesting thing about this band is without any doubt the vocals. They are for sure desperate sounding, although great! It's strange but I shouldn't like this at all really, but for some reason I do. I really do. The album starts out with very heavy stuff coming from the rhythm section, with pounding guitars, bass and drums. After a while the "music" started and I got some interest in the sound of Bromptons Cocktail. At first it reminded me of an album by Teru's Symphonia, which is progressive or better called symphonic rock with Japanese female vocals. That album is good just because of the cool arrangements, and Bromptons Cocktail remind me of that because of their crazy ideas. I mean, this vocalist don't sound sane at all. Unique is a word I would gladly use more often when talking about this band.

The are hard to describe. It's like Marillion, Genesis, Arena rock combined with everything. Well, those three bands are what comes in mind when hearing this album, but all of a sudden something very strange may happen and then the music is unexplainable. Really cool album this one. Titles like "The Adventures of Commodore Impossible", "The Organgrinder" and "Snail" will for sure be remembered and this album will be played more in my house.
