Their sound has become more refined, the drums are quieter, the guitar isn’t as messy, and lead singer David Prowse’s voice is no longer lost among the cacophony of instrumentals. That being said, I’d be lying if I said they sound exactly the same. Now there was a lot to love about Celebration Rock, and much of it carries through to Near to the Wild Heart of Life, but I was hoping to see this band grow a little more since there’s been so much time between records.
