Cross - Da Capo (2014)

The tenth album from this band from Sweden.

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

A guest added more keyboards.

This is not really a new studio album with new songs. Song 1 has been taken from their second album and songs 2-5 is from their third album. They are re-arranged and re-recorded.

Hence the Da Capo album title..... and I discovered it too late. If I had seen this in the beginning, I may have given this forty-six minutes long album a miss.

The music is a mix of art-rock, pomp rock and AOR. There is also some 1980s neo-prog here.

The vocals and the sound is good. 

The quality of the music is decent enough without really impressing me. The music is too anonymous and too much like most of the songs in this genre.

This also concludes my handful of reviews of this band. Their best album by many country miles is the 2009 album The Thrill Of Nothingness. The rest of the albums falls a bit short.
