SOLO

I am amazed at the great reviews this album has received here. While it does have more prog element than the two albums that followed, those prog moments are few and far between. I would say this is more of an arty arena rock album than prog. I'd even prefer the pseudo- Genesis style of the previous album. That's how weak I find the songwriting on this album. I can understand why Roine Stolt left the group after this one.

The redeeming songs, and only truly prog tracks to me are the last two, Total Förvirring and Sist På Plan. They come close to making this album worth purchasing.

2.5 stars. I guess I'll round it up to 3.
