Listening diary 25th March, 2022: A.C.T - Imaginary Friends (progressive rock, 2001)
A.C.T's incredibly distinctive brand of pop-prog-metal-rock opera is already very evident
here, and though it's not quite as complete as on Last Epic, it's still worth celebrating.
Whether you love this music really comes down to your ability to handle cheese, because this
packs it in at an unprecedented rate. Every melody on it is sugary sweet, straight out of a
Disney Channel musical, but with the prog sensibility of the guitars and song structuring,
you get a frequent break to allow some of those hooks to sink in without getting to
overbearing. The metal here is fairly tame and anyone coming for riffs will likely be
disappointed, but if you like musicals and cheese, this is some of the best out there.
