BEHAVIOUR

1. Listen to Your Heart arrives, from another planet, just after the immense 'Heads'; an expectation that agrees on their musical transition, not energetic. A more rhythmic, softer sound with a captivating gradient, choruses galore and the slap, with this electronic but addictive sound with the dreamy Sagaian spirit. 2. Take a Chance for the track returning to the SAGA of yesteryear mixed with crystalline keyboards; the fat synth, the spurting guitar, we are in good hands; a well-paced track, short but progressive with the whispered vocals, hey Mariusz from RIVERSIDE will do the same later; in short, new wave tinged with synth-space prog rock, where will I find that? 3. What Do I Know with Sharon Benson's angelic voice as a bonus; Bang, the disco pad and the warm choruses, and the direct, heady, compulsive chorus, making us nod our heads and feet; metronomic tune and Sharon whoops in the distance on this crystalline piano, by the way, are those her legs?; Ian arrives and shouts with his guitar and makes his notes rise, hey, a heavy riff to call us out even more; the break is true to itself, short but punchy, and I remember driving with the windows open with this song turned up loud.... What do you know, you weren't there! 4. Misbehaviour for the album's splash starting with the sharp riff; the tune that grabs you in the guts, that sends you far, the track that vibrates and captivates with the bouncing tempo; keyboard on its guitar variation and you have the flagship track of the album with electro from the CARS, good ones too. 5. Nine Lives of Miss MIDI as a spatial, mysterious, latent, and ambient intro leading... 6. You and the Night on a piano and keyboard layer for the soft slow rock synth prog variation, as you wish.

7. Out of the Shadows aping 'Careful Where You Step' for the intro; the sound comes from the mid-80s and gives pride of place to the digital sound, which some will reject, but what's the point!! A edgy track with a pervasive riff, the pad hit, and the dripping synths, always in tune; Ian's solo, yes, a gem just before the invasive pads and the progressive descent; you move, you sway, you're in the machine, out of control; the prog slap where the 4'45'' are well filled 8. Easy Way Out, a big riff, then the consensual track with two vocals; inspiration is lacking here despite the soft break and the riff worthy of a prog metal band. The fade confirms all this for me. 9. Promises for the romantic-Sagaesque ballad, between declension and roundness; between nodule and suave groove; a beautiful exercise that lacks punch, roundness, vitality. 10. Here I Am, a short, catchy track with energetic vocals; the keyboard hides the incisive notes; a fresh track in the band's signature style that reels off endlessly, yes, SAGA manages to open up turnkey prog spaces; the metronomic finale cut by schoolyard children's voices and the piano comes to announce it. 11. (Goodbye) Once Upon a Time for the latent romantic ballad; a crystalline start that searches for itself like some of SUPERTRAMP's prog intros. a vocal battle and choirs all in softness for a while, and then, and then the chorus in the line of the great titles of SAGA, the instruments which mix, the title takes another dimension; energy on a digital ballad, musical madness with the guitar-synth battle. The break is like a joust with the return of children's cries, and the feeling of having a long title; always captivating.
