Album Review
The Zombies – A Moment In Time
It’s a strange odd world that when people hear of the band The Zombies, they instantly rave on about their psychedelic roots and of-course their immersive album Odessey and Oracle which is still thrown in the bag of being of the best albums of the sixties. Their single ‘A Moment In Time’ which is due for release on the 14th of August is from their new album entitled ‘Breathe Out, Breathe In’ which is already out selling in stores.
The single itself provides a small insight into what The Zombies will be known for when they were of-course at their peak ‘back in the day’ however, it should be noted that only two of the original members of the band feature on this album. The single provides the enjoyable harmonies and slightly laid back if you will style that partly resembles the joys Zombies fans have the joy of listening to.
Unfortunately, the single itself will not appeal to all fans of music, some younger fans will obviously turn a blind eye to this single and I will not blame them, instead, I will tell them to go to their parents and ask if they Odessey and Oracle and if not I will then tell them to go and get it for themselves.
The only real highlight to pluck from this single is the fact that the single draws a small comparison to the joys of Odessey and Oracle. Fans of the band will most likely like to have a quick listen and see for themselves and judge on what they hear, but if you are trying to draw comparisons to Odessey and Oracle then you will definitely feel let down and wonder where all those years have gone since The Zombies were hailed as the U.K’s own Beach Boys.
Rating: 3/5
