Nice Place to Visit


Nice Place to Visit is the second album by the Canadian band Frōzen Ghōst, released in 1988. It had sold more than 50,000 copies before the end of the year.
The album was recorded in a studio set up by the band in a Toronto warehouse. Arnold Lanni used the album to experiment with electronic instrumentation and sampling.

Critical reception

The Globe and Mail wrote that "the band sounds as if it has been mastered by the AOR sound as much as it has mastered it." The Vancouver Sun called the album "prog-rock pop, with dumb lyrics." The Ottawa Citizen deemed it "a sleepy wash of overdubs channeled into soft-sell protest music." The Kingston Whig-Standard concluded that, "in going for a commercial sound, sometimes you end up sacrificing the soul of your music, and that seems to be what's happened here."
