"Resistance" is IQs darkest, heaviest album to date. Not every song includes an anthemic chorus, not every melody is instantly recognizable and not every track has a happy ending. Still, every IQ fan should get enough of the bands characteristic, symphonic sound. Albums that span two CDs might be a red flag for many fans of progressive rock, having been disappointed many times by announcements of opulent, oversized masterpieces. But the classy, always down-to-earth IQ have not started working on "Resistance" bragging about creating the ultimate masterwork of the genre. Sketches seem to have been designed and further developed into songs without any bias and forced directions. This great ensemble of musicians have gained enough experience to know when a composition has matured into something worth releasin
