A fair step down from their last two albums in their more modern sound, but has some standout moment nonetheless. Keyboards are under-utilised and there are several odd choices in the guitar writing and song structures. Overall a good addition to what they've been doing for years

Neo-prog British mainstays Pendragon go metal (or, at least, their best neo-prog facsimile thereof). As guilty pleasures go, you could certainly do worse than the lyrical witticisms and gentle guitar ministrations of neo-prog -- and this LP is no exception. As the drastic change in cover art suggests, "Men Who Climb Mountains" couples a grim dollop of post-apocalyptic aggression to the customary prog trappings. While that could have turned out terribly, Pendragon nail it! This probably won't receive as much mainstream lavish as IQ's "The Road of Bones" (2014), which would be unfortunate, unsurprising, and unjustifiable in equal measure. Consider this requisite listening for erstwhile fans of the genre, and every chord the contender for neo-prog album of the year.
