PSYCHO FANTASY is the fourth Phenoman's album, and it's a really nice surprise for you. It was released on 20th February 2006. It will not so easy for you to fall in love with the album first but after some spins it seem that you like it more and more. So ok, some songs like "Higher"aren't really outstanding and maybe a bit boring but some others like the really Progressive "Killing For The Thrill" or the emotive "60 Seconds" are pure hits. So maybe that you'll like it at the end. Just like their first three albums, Phenomena, Phenomena II: Dream Runner and Phenomena III: Inner Visions, this release is a concept album and once again you will find a whole bunch of amazing artists performing on a Phenomena album. On their first three albums we find such well known names like Cozy Powell, Scott Gorham and Brian May. This time we find names like Keith Murrell, Glenn Hughes and Tony Martin. The music here on this album is very close to be mix of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath Tony Martin's era. There are some very good tracks to be found here, just take a listen to “Killing For The Thrill”, “Chemical High” and “Higher”, solid riffing is combined with an equally solid rhythm foundation, catchy choruses and great vocals. A few songs are only average, not crappy songs, but somehow “just ok”. This album is quite good, never annoying but also somehow predictable. It is a worthy check out album for genre fans. Overall if you are into all star rock projects and have enjoyed the works of the musicians involved you should try PSYCHO FANTASY, in the knowledge that it is not quite the defining Phenomena album.

If you prefer melodic hard rock with progressive leanings, this is for you. The legendary Hard Rock project Phenomena centred around brothers Tom and Mel Galley is back with a brand new album called PSYCHO FANTASY. Phenomena is a bit like the British Ayreon. The only difference between those two projects is that Tom Galley, main compositor of the songs, doesn't even play on the album and that his music is a lot more oriented toward Hard Rock than Progressive music. Though above all, it's probably a bit less ambitious. But anyway, like with Ayreon, there are a lot different singers like Glenn Hughes or Tony Martin so as you can see, this is not a line up of beginners. But well Phenomena even if you'll be able to find some progressive music touches on the different songs of the record, Phenomena is above all, an album of Hard Rock. But this is not a classic catchy Hard Rock that we had the luck to listen to during the 80's and 90's, here the music is dark and melancholic. However that it's lacking of punch, at the opposite the songs are heavy but there is a nice dark ambiance and the Keyboards arrangements give something special to the music. This sound produced by the Keyboards is the Progressive part of the album and it's extremely interesting since the music isn't really basic at the end. PSYCHO FANTASY is an original album. Not so easy of access but extremely interesting with time. Tom Galley wrote again a bunch of great songs and his project was find this time a well deserved success. Fans of classy projects in the vein of Ayreon, don't miss this album.
