Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great Work from Nektar.......2006-07-02

My favorite Nektar album is A Tab In The Ocean, hands down. So every other Nektar album I've heard has been compared to that. I didn't care much for the popular Remember The Future, but I did like Journey enough to buy it.

By Magic, the band is still in good form, as psychedelic and experimental as ever. The production is better than A Tab and overall, the songwriting is probably superior. My only complaint is that they seemed to get so experimental with sounds and instrumentation by this point that some of the glue that held previous albums together (i.e. recurring organ and guitar tones) is a little lost here. And I'm not overly fond of the lyrics, but Nektar (in my opinion) were never fantastic lyricists anyway. You listen to them because of the music and where it takes you.
