Magellan Hundret Year Flood

2015, Most of this incredible disc is comprised of just one song, ,,The Great Goodnight". It clocks in at about 35 minutes and is the most emotional piece Magellan has ever written. The song is about Trend Gardner losing their oldest brother in the jungles of Vietnam. Normally Trent's lyrics are broader in scope and let the listener decide the meanings. In this case, ,,The Great Goodnight" is much more direct and to the point. Each and every Magellan album is unique and sounds nothing like the one before it. This is a band that's not afraid to take chances and at least to my ears, avoids prog cliches like the plague. With Magellan you'll notice something different each time and eventually you'll see just how original these guys are. Oh, and don't forget to check out Ian Anderson's flute solo on the song ,,Family Jewels"!
