| 3.7 great | manosg EMERITUS | November 22nd 21 |
Great slab of neo-prog heavily inspired by Genesis and Marillion, with vocals that bring to mind Robert Smith.

This sophomore record is driven by a rather philosophical thematically linked concept of man's gradual acceptance of his own death, reviewing his past life experiences and stepping out from the concealing shadows towards the eternal light, ultimately confronting his unknown spiritual future. The lyrics are simply wonderful however as a developing young band, the musicianship is not yet equal to the task of delivering a masterpiece. The heavy influence of early Genesis from its debut steadfastly remains although IQ relies far more on keyboards for driving its melodies than guitar. Perhaps an interesting future project for the now veteran and far more versatile band would be to re-envision The Wake in a recorded live performance of its entirety.

Fantastic neo-prog gem. Has its share of Rush, The Police and Genesis influences.

Overlooked piece of neo-progressive music. Enjoyable album.
