The Garden (The Metal Forge)

Releasing a double album is not quite the rarity it was some twenty years ago, especially within the progressive rock scene – you only need to look at Ayreon, The Flower Kings and Spock’s Beard for prime examples of that. But for a relatively unknown band such as Unitopia, releasing their sophomore effort as a double album is certainly a gamble. But for all of the doubt I had for Unitopia’s The Garden, I’ll admit that the band is more than up to the challenge, with their latest effort one of the better progressive rock albums I’ve heard in a long time.

Australia isn’t necessarily well known for it’s progressive scene, but with The Garden, Unitopia have single handedly changed that, and in the process have shown there’s more to the Australian music scene than simple rock ‘n’ roll.  - Justin Donnelly 8/10
