Albums don't always need good production to work, but not all styles can work around this often-inevitable realization. As it tragically turns out, Cloudscape run into this on their sophomore album, Crimson Skies. It's easy to hear the true sound of the band, but this is also just too hard to truly enjoy due to the shoddy, static-littered production constantly hampering the music. This is a shame, since the progressive power metal style of the band is a welcome combination that has plenty of potential. But the justice for their sound isn't found here.
