Byzantium - Byzantium


Rating: 3/5

Review:
Nothing special


I'm afraid I don't think this album has aged very well.  Originally from 1972, it now sounds to me like a lot of other quite good acoustic-tinged, slightly folky, slightly prog music of the time.  There's nothing wrong with it; the musicianship is pretty good and the overall sound is enjoyable enough with plenty of the recognisable musical tropes of the era, but there's not much that stands out to my ears.

Plainly some other reviewers like Byzantium very much, so if you're into the music of the time it's probably well worth listening to a few samples.  If you like what you hear then this may well be for you, but personally I can only give it a very lukewarm recommendation.
