Description/Reviews: 

These South Londoners know a thing or two about rock and prog and have a vivid imagination as to how to combine these genres in their very own fashion.
Opening with a synthfest that transcends us in time back to the 80s, The Mighty Handful then have their singer Matt Howes putting on his best David Bowie as the Landmarq-like keys have just been silenced. The song almost gets a folk-like feel, yet then there is the party-feel that you sometimes get at funerals when a dear person is remembered fondly. Here you can feel the atmosphere of a pub after bidding farewell to the dearly departed and Matt puts a real effort in expressing the emotions, even if the story might already be taking a twist. As death enters the scene, the album reminds me of the Casino album by Clive Nolan and the late Geoff Mann. Sound effects abound with a daring approach to writing songs. Even though the story has a central role in the album, the band has tried to make the songs count, one by one.
