CHEETO'S MAGAZINE: BOILING FOWLS
First album of the nutty band Cheeto's Magazine, Boiling Fowls is a blend of humour and pastiche. In fact, although delivering a progressive music, they stay far from the cliches of bands that take themselves too seriously by playing a complex music just to answer criteria specific to the genre. Here, technique serves humour. In this album, the will to set free from the codes of classic progressive rock is very strong. The end result is an album of positive, vibrant and fun progressive rock. Uplifting and whimsical in a good way, with enough quirks and twists to satisfy most progheads in the structure department, with a great array of what appears to be vintage sounding keyboards and of course with room for some organ as well, a sophisticated tongue in cheek production that makes a bit of fun on progressive rock, done with style, care and a great deal of affection. An album that merits an inspection by progressive rock fans that enjoys a good smile and a warm laugh, especially those who have an affection for material of a harder edged nature at that.
