Modern prog rock and an exceptionally expressive progressive rock act. For fans of modern prog , the sounds are enthralling and timeless; this release has depth and substance without overtaxing its listeners with overly intricate structures. Fans of ELP, Gentle Giant, Genesis, and Camel listen up! "Although progressive rock`s popularity peaked in the `70s, it continued to enjoy a cult following in the 21st century -- and one of the noteworthy prog rock bands that came out of Europe in the 2000s was Sweden`s Beardfish, who have no problem balancing intellect and emotion on their fourth album, Sleeping in Traffic, Pt. 2. The material on this 74-minute CD has plenty of complexity; tracks like "The Hunter," "As the Sun Sets," "South of the Border," and "Sunrise Again" have all kinds of twists and turns, and none of them adhere to a simple verse/chorus/verse/chorus format. But complexity never comes at the expense of feeling on Sleeping in Traffic, Pt. 2; nor does it come at the expense of humor."-AMG.
