Soen<\/em><\/a>\u2019s seventh album, <\/em>Reliance, has generally drawn acclaim, but some have expressed disappointment at its apparent lack of progressive elements. E<\/em>ven our review touched on the topic<\/em><\/a>. But drummer Martin Lopez and vocalist Joel Ekel\u00f6f argue there\u2019s plenty of prog in there if you pay attention.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThis one is definitely the best sounding so far,\u201d vocalist Joel Ekel\u00f6f says of Soen\u2019s seventh album, Reliance<\/em> \u2013 and one would find it hard to disagree given the crisp, grand production.\u201cCompared to the last few \u2013 if you take Imperial<\/em><\/a> and Memorial<\/em><\/a> and then this album, you can see the development. It\u2019s still really Soen and you can follow it; it\u2019s logical.\u201d<\/p>\n
