VISION

One of these albums, where after listening it, you decide whether to give 4, or 5 (and anything lesser than these two seemed irrational). First important thing, it's packed to maximum extent, lasting 79 minutes of genre, that is gaining a lot of popularity today, Neo- prog. After first listen, I would give 5 star instantly, with clear conscience. But now, I hesitate.

It's like Arena (but don't worry, a lot of musical acts from Neo genre reminds me Arena), but I have one problem here. When guitar solos are on, I feel that the chords and melody is repeating. There's also one similarity, first track, Boatman's Vision reminds me "Red Sand" in certain parts (such as first quarter and last two minutes). But even during this song, my enthusiasm dropped to minimum, because this just didn't fit in for me. I don't know if it's this German accent that is clearly to hear (I don't like "rrr"), or that all elements are in place, it should work and it normally works (in other Neo-bands), but not here. Because something is bad here, I don't have so good feeling from this. So

3(+) for good album, but not so good (for me at least)
