THE INNER MOUNTING FLAME

this is an outstanding masterpiece, every song is incredible, i loved each and everyone of the pieces of this album. mclaughlin is impressive in the guitar, his speed at the guitar really impressed me, and you also have to pay attention to the drums, one of the best i ever heard, i think even Bill Bruford was influenced by this kind of drumming.

the high points? this album is a mountain without valleys, every song is a peak, but my favorites are noonward race, wich i love the heavy riff-like guitar intro, vital transfomation, with one of the best drums i can remember and awakening, with this song i realized how importan mclaughlin is to guitarrist like steve mose, steve vai, petrucci etc.

this is an album you should have, if you are a prog fan, rock fan, jazz fan, music fan, doesnt matter, if you appreciatte beauty in general buy this album and listen to it carefully.

something that called my attention is that i was listening this album in my car with a friend, neofite to prog music, jazz, even rock, and real music in general, y asked him in wich year does he thought the album was recorded, without thinking it deeply, he answered, mmm maybe in 1998?

this album has not aged one single day, its still sound as actual and original as always.
