AERONAUTICS

Since I'm a prog fanatic and visit this site because it's a platform for progbands I shouldn't review this one actually. I agree Masterplan isn't really progmetal but it has some elements in that direction, so ok I will review Masterplan. The progelement that is involved in this bands music is the melodic compositions they perform. I also bought their first album, got enthusiastic and also bought this second album. I think it's slightly better than the first, there's more variety in the songs and the songs are a little bit better. I especially like After this War, Falling Sparrow, I'm not afraid and Into the Arena. But the one that really stands out is of course the almost epic Black in the Burn, a long song for Masterplanstandards. This one is very dynamic, as is actually the entire album. It's one of the things I look for in music so I give this one 4 stars because of the quality; although I have to admit it's not for a prog collection.
