Description/Reviews: 

Than The Common Plague' is a concept album, the third by Spyros Charmanis, first under the moniker 'None Other', paired with a 30-page novel revolving around disease, treatment and the inherent isolation towards 'the light at the end of the tunnel' - whatever that is to anyone.

Description/Reviews: 

Charmanis describes this as a concept album about an unnamed character going through a journey of good intentions, bad decisions, emotional fracture and resolution until the final track which is, appropriately enough, a song of moving-on entitled Say Good Night.
It's not exactly The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway or even something mid-period Floyd-like but his background in Beatles is evident (some classy George Harrison-like slide figures) as much as a sense of hefty rock. It's a mid-point between many influences but comes off as something of his own...What also makes this interesting is that Charmanis keeps you both outside the character but also drawn in. With very little assistance (guests on cello, occasional vocals, piano) this is quite a grand but sharply focused conception and he can bring as much seriously disturbing sky-falling guitar crunch as elevating resolution.
