The seventh album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a trio with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Some guests added percussion, taurus, electric violin, saxophone, keyboards and background vocals.
I have reviewed some albums from this Swedish band and I have yet to be won over... Their previous album, Secrets from 2000, was a mix of AOR, hard rock, pomp rock, art-rock and neo-prog.
This mix of AOR, hard rock, pomp rock, art-rock and neo-prog seems to be their own style, their niche in the market. And they are not alone in that market.
The vocals are not impressive, but it works.
There is some instrumental pieces here and that is a major departure from the Secrets album. The instrumental pieces are well within the neo-prog genre.
The result is another slightly frustrating one hour of music from this band. Frustrating because the music is a bit too generic and there is not enough good music here to make this a good album.
I really like this band but their music is not good enough on this album. Hence....
2.5 points
