Picture, by Kino (2005): Kino is yet another prog super group (including members or former members of Marillion, Porcupine Tree, and It Bites). But unlike Transatlantic or The Tangent, Kino does not serve up heaping slabs of epic symphonic prog. In fact, the tunes on this album verge much more on straight-forward rock than true prog. Not that such an idea is bad, but it doesn't really work in most instances here. When everything clicks ("Loser's Day Parade," "Leave a Light On," "Room For Two"), it's pretty good. Other times it sounds like a lighter version of Porcupine Tree not quite so skillfully done.
