Eveline's Dust - The Painkeeper (2016)

The second album from this band from Italy.

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

Three years had gone since their debut album. An album who gave us some music both intricate and quirky. Take King Crimson, merge them with some Gentle Giant, Caravan and Rush. There are also some RPI here... the eclectic prog end of the RPI spectrum.

So I was really believing that I would get the same on this album, their second album.

The music is slightly quirky and there is some RPI influences in their art-rock. But the music is sorely lacking the teeth from the debut album. Neither is the music eclectic or jazzy.

Neither is the music particular heavy although there are some Rush influences here.

The music is melodic throughout. There is still a lot of interesting details on this three quarters of an hour long album.

The result is a fairly good, decent to good album which is failing to live up to the expectations from the debut album. Hence.....

 2.5 points
