2 stars This fourth album is lighter (in my opinion) compared to the third one. There are many influences from ELP but still this band has its own identity. The music is as complex and misunderstood as previous album - at least for my personal taste. Some people might be able to fully digest the music. For me personally, I have to force myself to be able to enjoy the music. So, what's the point? It does not fulfill my principle that "music is emotion". I'd rather listen to other kind of prog music and leave this album to those of you who like complexity and do not think melody as important part of music. I do not say that this is a bad album - not at all - it's just not tightly composed, musically (in my opinion). The epic at the end of the album can be considered something that I can enjoy - but not the whole epic track. I leave it up to you whether or not to purchase this album. Keep on proggin' ..!

Peace on earth and mercy mild - GW
