Review by Willi Frommenwiler

Unsung Heroes by Dregs is a musical masterpiece that showcases the band's exceptional talent and creativity. The album features a unique blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and classical music, making it a must-listen for fans of these genres.

The album opens with the track "Odyssey", which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The intricate guitar riffs, complex drum patterns, and soaring keyboard melodies create a mesmerizing sound that draws the listener in.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Leprechaun Promenade", which features a lively and upbeat rhythm that is impossible not to dance to. The track "Atilla the Hun" is another highlight, with its epic guitar solos and thunderous drums.

As is the case with many bands, they get their start during their creative stage writing and developing their sound live while under less pressure. Their best material is on their first album or two and then the pressure of writing while touring and recording under a record contract leads to watered-down compositions. Here, on Unsung Heroes, the Dixie Dregs, or Dregs as they then became known, fall victim to this formula, unfortunately. We have heard these songs before in different forms and there is little, if any. progress. Yes, the virtuosic playing and arrangements are still stellar, but they sound a little tired and bereft of new directions. As on previous outings, we have rock styles on Cruise Control and Rock and Roll Park, country on I'll Just Pick, Weather-Report-like jazz fusion on Kat Food, and a nice ballad on Day 444. Perhaps the only new direction is on the album closer Go For Baroque in the style of Kansas. I have been a big fan of TDD but this record sounds forced and recycled. If you want to hear what the group can really do stick to their first 4 records. This record is still good and probably important for fans but I seriously doubt they made many new fans with Unsung Heroes.
