The third album from this band from Ireland.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This band has been flying under the radar for a long time. The band was vastly ambitious on their first two album and bit over more than they could chew on the second album Origins.
I really like their bravery and their attitude.
On this album, we get a mix of Scandinavian symphonic prog and neo-prog. Yes, Ireland is not among the Scandinavian countries. But M Opus has adopted many of the best parts of that scene.
There is also a lot of Yes in their music too.
The vocals is good and the music is both bold and complex. It is also epic and still has a lot of melodies.
At forty-two minutes long, the album is both punchy and free of any surplus fat.
I sincerely hope this album will break the band as they are both giving the scene a taste of the old symphonic prog scene and something new and refreshing.
This is a very good album indeed.
3.5 points
