Album Review: "Agusa 2" by Agusa

Agusa 2
Once in awhile, a genre of music will be labeled pretentious, self-absorbed, and worthless.

Progressive rock often finds itself being labeled as such. With long meandering passages, pieces of music that have nothing to do with each other, unbridled noodling, and seemingly no point other than the music itself.

Instrumental music is also given these unfair labels.

To this day it confounds me when people need vocals in music. Do they never go to the symphony? Do they find no beauty in the hands and lungs of the players?

Well, today we're taking both of these genres head on in a genre-bending mashup featuring music that's largely instrumental and wholly progressive....and Swedish.
