3 stars From the first melancholic (mellotronic in later songs), you know that you're listening something special. Assuming you're aware of year when it was released and then-music scene (what people were listening). It's revolution. You all heard that before, I know.

What James Lee stated about Antonín Dvořák's (probably the best Czech classical music composer) influence on this album is quite true. Because there can be traced many motifs hidden between more "Rock" sound of this album. I know "New World Symphony" (so called Novosvětská) very well and I can tell that pieces of it are used here and there, some parts are inspired by it (of course, talking about Classical music parts only), but it's only good that way. Songs are good (I suppose), but they doesn't move me that much (as following album does). However, there are advantages that "Days of Future Passed" has over "In the Search of the Lost Chord", like orchestra, more complex songs. However, it's less enjoyable. So songs are more or less good, except The Night, which is song I quite hate. Not all song-length, only some parts.

4(-), strangely, I'll rate this with exactly same rating (given & intended one) as their following album.

Marty McFly | 3/5 |
