House of the Mind, 2017
House of the Mind by Comedy of Errors

“Where do we go from here?” That is everyone’s biggest question. “Experience will teach you, given time, they say? Only what is out of reach, can ever be the prize”. I’d say that Joe and the band have reached the prize for sure, delivering an impressive recording that is more than proof that Comedy of Errors have survived where others have not, reaching the alter of prog leadership and deserving the respect and recognition of the bands that they themselves idolized as teens…

Professor Mark, The Progressive Aspect

I’ll cut to the chase and comment on the title track, House of the Mind, which is an absolutely cracking piece of symphonic prog. It has everything one expects in such a composition: repeating (big) thematic ideas, different textures and moods, soaring guitars, and some magical aural delights from Jim Johnston’s keyboard work. This track itself is worth 10 out of 10.

This is CoE’s fourth studio album in recent years and I would consider it to be their best. For my money, these guys are up there with the best neo-prog bands in the world. A continuing maturity in composing and musicianship, and an abundance of sheer sonic delights makes this a contender for the best album of 2017.
