And because of that (my predilection for prog), almost any prog CD I review will be better liked than, say, Brittany Spears, Kesha, or whatever. Why am I just now buying a GH CD, being I'm a big prog fan? Well, from listening to random clips, I have to say I kind of thought they were a little wimpy for prog. As nicely summarized by another Amazon reviewer, they were sort of like a "souped-up Mannheim Steamroller"...prog-ish, yes, but a little too politely so.Initial impression? Hmmm...nice organs and synths...quite fairy-like vocals and nonsensical lyrics about freedom, the sky, the sun, dreams, your soul, and wings and stuff..."is this Yes-redux?" was my first thought.Well, it's not, but it might as well be in quite a few places. But I don't mind so much because, minus a few scattered tracks, I love 70's Yes. And to this day, I can't explain why I sort of like Yes vocalist Jon Anderson's voice (definitely an anomaly for what I normally like in the way of singing voices), but because the dude singing on this sounds VERY similar to Jon Anderson, I already kind of like the vocals as well. Add LOTS of Hammond-ish rock organ, some very Mini-Moog-ish leads, odd time signatures, nicely supporting bass/guitar/drums, and some very Jon-Anderson-ish vocalizations of "dit...did-it...dah, dah...dah" sprinkled in the mix and `voila'...you have a nice little Yes-sounding package of prog.And for me, that's mostly a positive.Do they get any points for originality on this? Nah, not really. But I did find myself thinking, "why couldn't Yes have produced something more in this vein than, say, 'Magnification' or 'the Ladder'?". It does sort of remind me of the "Keys to Ascension" tracks in a few places, which is a decent comparison I think. And, I'm happy to say, though it is a bit "fluffy and light" in places, it has enough weight to keep the "rock" in "prog rock".Only semi-negative (and for me it's a small one) would be HOW MUCH the vocalist sounds like Jon Anderson from Yes (whose name is weirdly even similar..."Jon Davidson" ). He supposedly practiced his chops singing in a Yes-tribute band, and BOY does it come across.Again, some GREAT music on here, and if you can handle Yes-like music and Yes-like vocals, you'll probably enjoy this Yes-like Glass Hammer album. Four and a half stars with a round up to five (lost a half a star for unoriginality). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars YES please *by K***2 on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2012* Yes this is a Glass Hammer album. Yes this is one of my favorites. Yes they sound just like another famous 70s genre defining symphonic prog band. Yes you will love this album. Yes they will get "hammered" for sounding like the other band. Yes people will call them copycats. Yes they will be accused of not moving the needle forward. Yes you should buy this. Yes ...now if only I could remember the name of that other band... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it. BEST record in decades, no lie. *by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2011* First the bad news: It is crime against humanity that this band is not a household name. I just stumbled on this band on the internet by chance,nobody I know has heard of them. Too bad because...Good News: "If" is the BEST record I have heard in decades and one of the best ever!FOR REAL."If" is over 66 minutes of perfection. Not one dull moment. All the classics, Pink Floyd or YES or Zeppeplin wereall around ONLY 40 minutes. More recent albums may be over 60 minutes but always had weak moments and "filler" songs."If" is the only 66 plus minute record I have ever heard to deliver a perfect record from start to finish.I could ramble on like others about how great this record is, but I have a better idea...Just go buy the record and play it in your stereo!You will not regret it.The only thing you will regret is the feeling you will get that most other music out there is sadly not of the calibre of Glass Hammer - If.One strong opinion I do have: Stop all the comparisons to YES/ELP. Glass Hammer is unique and stands on their own.I think all the comparisons may scare people from buying "If" thinking it is derrivative. It is not.BUY IT NOW!!!!I wish I knew of more music of this quality.Thank You Glass Hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!P.S. I do not work for or have any connection to Glass Hammer. I am just a guy who has been blown away by this record. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/49282324-if](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/49282324-if) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
