The Review:

deSol’s latest effort “On My Way” is my first exposure to the band and at first I wasn’t sure how it would be relevant on a Progressive Rock reviews site. After a few listens, I noticed there was enough forward thinking music happening in the arrangements to be reviewed. I think those fans that are borderline on the prog/mainstream fence. Case in point, the song “Mona Lisa” is unpredictable yet accessible plus lyrically and musically it shines as a favorite song.

deSol is one of those bands that really can go the way of early Santana or ca$h out and become another Smash Mouth or Sugar Ray. I really hope the former is chosen especially since Santana these days is concentrating on duets with mainstream artists instead of exploring like he did in the early days. This is a really nice album, not really my cup of tea but enjoyable nonetheless.
