Synopsis

Product Description
Progressive-rock album from this five-piece band that combines technicality, melodic vocals, and epic compositions. Highly recommended for fans of Dream Theater and Rush. 54 months is a long time to work on an album. But that is exactly how long it took Hourglass to finish their new double album Oblivious to the Obvious. Four and a half years of writing, recording, mixing, mastering and the result is 139 minutes worth of music. Even though it is a lot of music, it is only 10 songs. Hourglass has never worried too much about the length of their songs, and epic songs have always been a part of what the band does. Oblivious to the Obvious is no exception. The album has a little of everything, from heavy metal riffs and screaming vocals, to laid back piano and acoustic passages, and some very tasteful groove sections. Vocal harmonies are scattered throughout the album as are many guitar, keyboard, and even bass solos. There is something for everyone on Oblivious to the Obvious.
