Frequency is a studio album by the British neo-progressive band IQ, released in late May 2009. It was the first album recorded with new band members Andy Edwards (drums) and Mark Westworth (keyboards). A special edition with a bonus DVD was also released. This DVD contains a recording of the gig performed on 1 December 2007 at De Boerderij in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands.
Critical reception
Allmusic's Alex Henderson reviews the album as "for the most part, a very moody album, but it is also very accessible" and "even though Frequency isn't among their essential albums, it illustrates IQ's ability to continue providing memorable and very digestible progressive rock 28 years after the band's formation."
Track listings
All lyrics written by Peter Nicholls, all music composed by IQ.
