## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Precise progressive Rock
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2015*

Good Progressive rock well sung. Guitar based and short songs  rather than the longer ones they have previously been known for with greater progressive content

    A triumphant change in direction
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2014*

The odds were stacked against me liking this album. The EP "Between Two Steps", from which two tracks ended up on Hyperdrive, implied a much more AOR approach to Knight Area's sound. The pre-launch publicity blurb indeed alluded to this. The tracks are shorter with only one track longer than six minutes. As an avid fan of Knight Area's symphonic neo progressive music I was worried!Hyperdrive is a triumph and an example of a band re-inventing itself. There is enough of the Knight Area neo progressive sound left to not feel one is listening to another group. However, the song writing has shifted from predominantly keyboard focused to guitar driven, Mark Bogert is one hell of a guitarist. Both technical and melodic. Mark Smit's vocals have been getting better each album and are at their best here surprisingly well suited to the heavier material. Yes, quite a few of the songs could be classed as AOR but they are of the highest quality. This is quite a heavy album. Tracks like "Afraid of the dark" and "Avenue of broken dreams" remind me very much of Dream Theater's Awake period. "Stepping out" is an awesome guitar dominated instrumental with a very melodic gentle guitar solo followed by a heavy one. Hypnotised, the longest track on the album, is a "classic" sounding Knight Area track that would have sat comfortably on any of their four previous studio albums, and may well have been a highlight. A highly enjoyable and unexpected album that should appeal to progressive rock fans, AOR fans, and metal fans.
