4 stars For beginning of this two part review, please find their first album. So I continue from last time. Seems like they fixed the biggest thing I hated (well, more like not liked too much as I could if it was different). This album has overall feeling of rocking sound (I wanted to use ".", but I save them for name of songs"). "Argamasilla" (whatever it is) starts instantly, without a second of hesitation and sets the tone for entire song. And has really catchy sound which you'll remember. This I lack in previous record. This song constantly graduates (and sometimes, which is quite strange, also de-graduates). Now, when you say mellotron in recent years, I say this song. And yeah, tune of this song is far better to remember than song name itself.

Eponymous track (or track with same name, self-titled track, Any Namour (I mean Name) You Want) with (oh, by the way, what exactly willowglass is ? When I first searched for info about this music, I typed "willowgrass", not knowing that it actually means something) is pleasant tune. Not much more to be said, reminds me first album. Due to this, no more words needed.

Rest of tracks goes on with as a little bit disappointment for me, because I've expected too much. It's better than first one, but still can't reach my masterpiece's heights. I though that I'll be able to, I even wanted, but, what can I do. So I'll give it 4(+), still 4 star rating, but better than previous one.

Recommended for every mellotron lover.
