The third album from this band from The Netherlands.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
I had some high hopes for this album as the 2005 album Facing The Sunset was a very good symphonic prog album.
The bombastic opening of this album, Beyond Reality, gave me some really hopes for this album.
The symphonic prog is soon replaced by some pomp rock and that is the genre we get on this seventy minutes long album.
The vocals is OK'ish but never really any good.
The music is a bit too sugary and sweet. It is slow to mid-tempo too.
The album recovers and become rather good at the end with a couple of good pieces of melodies. The middle part of this album is rather decent but never good.
The result is a disappointment and a decent to good album. This album is their weakest album and with a good margin. The rest of their albums are good and this band is a recommended band.
2.5 points
