M Opus - Origins (2020)

The second album from this band from Ireland.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, vocals and narrations.

Numerous guests added guitars, flute, vocals and narrations.

Two CDs.... Well over two and a quarter worth of music. That means one track clocking in at twenty-four minutes, the closing track, and twenty-seven shorter songs and narrations.

The album has a lot of proper songs mixed up with a few spoken words and narrations. This is in short a concept album.

The vocals is good and the music is well performed.

The music is a mix of symphonic prog, psych rock, rock and cinematic rock. 

The first CD has some pretty dull songs and material. The album becomes a lot better on the second CD where the best songs and pieces are. 

Decent first CD. Good second CD. Hence the verdict. This album is a let down compared to their very good debut album. Can do better.

2.5 points
