The third album from this band from Finland.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute, trumpet and vocals.
A guest delivered flute on some tracks.
I did not expect to get another album from this band after their very good 2012 debut album Fresh From The Oven and the self-titled EP from 2013. Both of them reviewed in 2014 for # 1 of this blog.
I have just recently also discovered, well after I was starting to listen to their new album Green Divine that they had indeed released their second album in 2015. I will review that album sometimes next month.
Green Divine is a two CDs, eighty-six minutes long album.
The music sounds like a rock opera as the music is all over the place and got this concept album/rock opera almost screaming at the listener.
Eclectic prog is also a label worthy this album. The music and the good vocals is in the vaudeville theatres genre with some falsetto opera singing, a bit classical music, some very quirky prog and some laidback jazz and rock too.
The music is in other words weird. It is still a rewarding experience, this almost one and an half an hour long album.
Not all here is good but it deserve some credit for it's audacity and weirdness. Hence it deserves a good rating as one of the more weird and original albums from last year.
