THE YEARNING

The problem was to figure out if it was really true that the very good opening track (The Wharf that holds his Vessel) was so much better than all the others. And after these 10 listens I can only conclude it is. The short opening epic is a very nice composition with some excellent progressive moments and reaches a 4* score easily. When you hear such a good song at the beginning of an album you expect some more with the others but alas we've clearly had the best after this even though the next five shorter songs are all nice but none of them clearly reaches the 3,25* level.

At the very end of the album we have the longer epic called Grey clocking about sixteen minutes. It's not strange to at least hope for something great with this one but also here the standard of the opening song is not reached by any means. Maybe 3,25-3,5 at best but that's it. So the final score for the entire album is not hard this time. it can only be three stars to me (3,3)

To compare Aisles with another progband is hard, maybe in style it has elements of Genesis but certainly not the best of Genesis just slight resemblance.
