PICTURE

I was going to review some Porcupine Tree or/and Marillion albums but while searching for those cd´s i found this, and it´s funny because it has members of the bands i was looking for. I had almost forgotten that i have it because of the deception it was when i first heard it. That time, i listened to it a couple of times more to see if i could find something that made me appreciate it, but it didn´t happened, so i put it back on the rack. Today that i found it i decided to give it one more try, sometimes it happens that you hear something that you haven´t heard in a long time and your perspective changes, and you can even like what you didn´t. This was not the case. Unfurtunely i think i liked it less.

I´m a big Marillion fan, i love PT, i like Arena a lot. What happened here? I really don´t know. I´m not against all pop music, actually i like a lot of pop rock, Prog -raleted and not related too, but this is not what i expect from a talented line-up like this. The only thing that i found is a few nice guitar solos, some keyboard interesting moments, but that´s it. I love the way John Mitchell plays guitar, but singing... i´m not sure... i would rather keep him away from the mic.

I think there´s too much influence from John Beck and his band It Bites style,which by the way is not my cup of tea. There´s not much to say about Trewavas and Maitland as they didn´t bring anything remarkable to the music. I know there´s people that enjoyed this recording, and that´s fine, i respect all tastes and points of view, but this is just not for me. Sorry.
