Review by Rundles Team

Happy Family's album, This Business of Living, is a musical journey that takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The band's unique blend of progressive rock and jazz fusion creates a sound that is both complex and accessible.

The album opens with the energetic and upbeat "Firecracker," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The musicianship on display is impressive, with each member of the band demonstrating their technical prowess.

Tracks like "Wandering Spirit" and "The Whole Story" showcase the band's ability to create intricate melodies and complex time signatures while still maintaining a sense of accessibility. The use of saxophone and trumpet adds a layer of texture to the music, creating a sound that is both dynamic and engaging.

The album's title track, "This Business of Living," is a standout moment. The song's poignant lyrics and haunting melody create a sense of introspection and reflection. It's a perfect example of the band's ability to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
