Free Music Review: Bad timming
Hit: 5 Stars
In the 80's there wasn't much prog-rock to listen to.You either had to go back to the old Yes or Genesis albums or put up with Marillion.But then came IT BITES.After a first pop-rock album-the big lad in the windwill-It bites released ONCE AROUND THE WORLD,their masterpiece.Some of the songs are still pop-rock "normal size" songs:Black December,Kiss Like Judas,...but then you've got some estonishing PROG tracks like Old man and the Angel, Once Around...,Haunting the whale,...
The lead singer-guitarist Francis Dunnery must be a Peter Gabriel fan, even if he uses his Gabriel-sound-like voice in a very different and not as obvious way as FISH.He's also a great guitarist, with very distinctive gimmicks and solos.The production of the album is way ahead of its time and miles away from the marillion's firsts albums.
It might seem like I'm comparing IT BITES with MARILLION but it's only really the prog approach and the fact that both bands are from the 80's.It Bites is much more modern and creative than Marillion, also much more ROCK (they will prove it on the next album Eat Me In St Louis and on their LIVE album).
I really believe that if IT BITES would have hold on for a couple more years, they would have been as popular as DREAM THEATER or SPOCK'S BEARD (even if they're not as technical as those two) and that their small success was only a question of bad timming.
IT BITES is really a great PROG BAND and this album should be a classic!
Once Around the World Poster
Unavailable in the U.S.! 1987 sophomore release from this British Art-Rock/Prog-Pop quartet fronted by Francis Dunnery. Unlike the U.S. version, which was released only as a vinyl EP, is the original album in it's entirety (including the bonus track 'Hunting The Whale'). Harder than their debut, this album showed a far more imaginative band creating a unique sound as they combined elements of Hard Rock, Prog and Pop. Includes 'Kiss Like Judas', 'The Old Man And The Angel', 'Yellow Christian' and more. Virgin.Hard Rock & Metal Music CDs
