Flight 09 makes melodic rock with nods to various outliers in rock: Led Zeppelin, a bit of progmetal and for the neo influences Egdon Heath. There are differences too: Flight 09 is heavier, more blues inspired, more orchestral (synth based), and I have said it before: the biting, gravelly vocals are an acquired taste. The music is often rather plodding, especially due to the drums. The bass work can be subtle, the guitar can be acoustic, it can be riffy, and it can be rhythmic. Most songs are compact, but on The Crow, the music is definitely more epic, and also most likable.
