4 stars Starting very unusually, with the sound of harmonica, but quickly turning in the direction where we're expecting it to be.

Melancholically sad, melodically beautiful, if this is 70s advocate of Crossover Genre, then let it be a little bit poppy (seeds?), I don't mind, as long as we'll keep ourselves in the unwritten boundaries written by Art Rock borders. Strings are so sweet that some people's hair will turn grey instantly from pure sound of it (accompanied by suitably sounding piano and orchestra). But this can turn other way around as well and become the main advantage. It's pompous, it's grandiose, it's simply big.

4(+), vocals in the beginning of Dreamer sounds a little bit like Jon Anderson.
