4 stars Not every space-sounding drops falling to water have to be Pink Floyd, but I agree, that coincidence here is just too clear. Average rating of this album is 4.18 and even I don't look to it (and think about it before reviewing) too often, I have to agree. What else would be enough for album, whee there is a lot of ideas, which of course gets final star rating higher, but also some "fillers", which beats it down to the dust of no-innovation.

Argentina, so Spanish language I suppose, no offense to natives, but this language sounds to me just like Portugal (so biggest country there, Brazil), I as foreigner with no skill on languages (except little knowledge of my beloved English). This is underrated thing, but of course that human brain takes different languages differently, especially one which is not many-lingual (some people are used to use several languages, I'm not and I don't have to, because all I need is how to learn approach to languages. Yes, not only approach to prog genres (some are harder than others), but to language, which they're singing, because I some langs comes harder than others. And I think that it's not just my case, but nobody thinks about it much. Fortunately, this is quite pleasant to listen, so...).

And another thing, this is not so symphonic, or it is, but can be classified as symphonic prog with prog metal spare parts. Maybe term hard symphony would be sufficient, but I'm not too sure about it. And when listening to these tunes, I feel like I'm traveling through the history, too many influences here, intriguing melody, I can never guess where it's going.

4(+), rarity number one.
