Review by Alexandria Walker

Howe II's album High Gear is a must-listen for fans of progressive rock and jazz fusion. The band, led by guitarist Steve Howe of Yes fame, delivers an impressive array of intricate compositions that showcase their technical prowess and creativity.

The album's opening track, "High Gear," sets the tone with its driving rhythm and soaring guitar solos. Other standout tracks include the funky "Sensitive Chaos," the atmospheric "Heart of the Sunrise," and the epic "Out of the Tunnel."

Throughout the album, Howe II demonstrates their ability to seamlessly blend different genres and styles, creating a sound that is both complex and accessible. The musicianship is top-notch, with each member of the band contributing their own unique flair to the overall sound.
