Press Reviews "You may not have heard of IZZ, but this is one of the great American progressive rock albums - ever! Imagine a heavier and more complex version of Ambrosia during their progressive phase (first two albums). IZZ combine that whimsy, playfulness, and constant invention with some serious chops, on a par with Echolyn and Spock's Beard. Unlike many current prog bands, IZZ have a keen melodic sense and are capable songwriters, yet their songs twist and turn in unexpected directions. Over the album's 59 minutes, there is quite a bit of diversity. Elements of Yes and Genesis without IZZ ever coming close to being copyists. Excellent vocals too!" - Larry Kolota, Kinesis CD
