Hey!An album that is not at all an ordinary one in this too crowded,maybee,world of prog metal
bands!I followed MIND'S EYE career since their very first album edited on SENSORY and I
knew since then that this band will have someting to say in today's music!Since the beginning
they had a strong personality,a precise vision about what they want to do and a huuuge
potential,both componistic and technical The mastermind behing the combo is the exceptional
drumer DANIEL FLORES, a trully amazing musician,seriously involved in numerous projects
especially as a producer,but as performer too!Anyway.WALKING ON H2O is MIND'S EYE's first
album edited at the ambitious label LION MUSIC and it's pure bomb!After 3 excellent studio
albums,this album marks the full maturity of the band in all their ways of expression!It's rare to
have an album of more then 70 minutes and to consider it perfectly listenable from the first to
the last note!Well,WALKING ON H2O proves thet this band has definitelly the full maturity and
wisdom to offer a very complete and complex album,trying permanently to reinvent itself and
trying also to find more modern and atractive sonic soundscapes!The specific of MIND'S EYE
music is here at 100 %...superbe melodic lines...perfect choruses ...great drum and bass
synchronicity...wonderful guitar solos...heavy riffs....clever interludes and overall a sensational
production!This is pure prog metal,modern and catchy,interesting and atractive,agressive and
melancholic in the same time,diverse and various in compositions!Yes,MIND'S EYE have
their own sound and it's a pure typically MIND'S EYE sound on all albums,but literally it
explodes on this album!Flores is a brilliant sound engineer too and this album is touching
perfection under all aspects!Very,very inspired songs and a focused attention on compositions
especially,not neglecting at all the impressive technical aspect!Undoubtedly MIND'S EYE is
one of the surest EUROPEAN values in modern prog metal and this band continues to grow
album after album...A GENTLEMAN'S HURRICANE is the perfect prove for what a concept
album should be today!4.5 STARS, to this amazing album,because A GENTLEMAN is simply
PERFECT!
