Their 5th studio release, Year Zero is somewhat a modern day Dark Side of the Moon with it's experimental sounds and continueous flowing of music from track to track. Unlike, Dark Side, there are NO proper songs or obvious singles.
Basically there is No Commerical Value whatsoever with is a major plus for progressive rock bands today.
The music on Year Zero contains elements of neo-prg with a harder edge than usual, some jazz, dance, ambient, world, classical and choral music to name a few styles.
From several descriptions of the sub-genre, it's very un neo-prog in it's approach where the vocals aren't the centerpiece.
There are NO songs about hobits, Gandalf, King Arthur or any future worlds... It's a concept album of sorts abot life in general and how we live it with all of it's ironies both up and down.
Come take a chance on Galahad's Year Zero... it's an excellent release for 2002, a must have for most open-minded prog music lovers.
