FIVE OF THE EYES ANNOUNCE DEBUT LP
THE VENUS TRANSIT
“Coming at you with explosive beauty, the lead song, Atmosphere, transports you to an ethereal plane of existence. Having accomplished that elusive task that has baffled failed songwriters for generations, the album then far exceeds the standard set by the first track.”
“Run, don’t walk and Get this one. It is a must have!!”
“They’re magnificently organized songs that put together a detailed arrangement of spacey guitars and pounding percussion before erupting into a blaring assault of layered sounds.”
“ ...a mature prog album that defies its prog categorization, ascending above the horizon of its contemporaries and shrugging off its weaker moments with its more gloriously expansive, and transcendent, ones.”
“The band came in with a perfect balance of preparedness and willingness to venture off the path when the opportunity arose, and the result, in my opinion, is a passionate, focused, and brave record.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if people came to swear by this record. It may be a masterpiece.”
