Diversity The follow up to Acumens second CD, Out Of Balance, has just been released. It is appropriately titled Diversity. As in the past, the band has put forth an eclectic mix of prog/alternative music. It’s almost like there must be two bands on this CD. The music has quite a few different styles to it. Some tracks sound a little like Rush, and others are just pure alternative rock. If your taste in prog leans toward the pop side of the spectrum, this CD is right up your alley. This is truly an odd collection of music. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the music. It’s just quite a diverse CD musically, hence the title. It’s not a prog CD or a pop CD but a mix of both. The musicians are very talented and the dual vocals and guitar work on some of the tracks showcase the bands originality in writing music. The production and recording job is first rate. I believe the band is at the crossroads of their career. Which road they choose is anybodies guess. To the prog side, I hope, because they show great potential in that direction. Please encourage the band to explore that world of prog rock by purchasing the CD at your favorite record store.
