MINDREVOLUTIONS

Sorry but this time the project from this large Swedish ensemble is almost completely failed (otherwise some defects characterized also their previous works...). Well I think of several music ideas by Roine Stolte and- as He's always been recognized that He 's a remarkable guitarist (especially during his recent gigs with Flower Kings and Transatlantic)- I expected something different!!First of all it's the same line-up as within their previous album "Keyholder", but the output is worse in comparison to it...then the role of the lead vocalist has been shared between Roine Stolt and Hans Lundin,but also between Patrik Lundström and Aleena, and this is the reason which has brought about a certain discontinuity in the melodic lines.A lot of light songs- being enriched with uneven rhytmical ballads under a light symphonic background- make me feel quite disappointed, except on a few good guitar solos creating a pleasant atmosphere but nothing else...in fact the compositions are often taken for granted and never surprising !!Of course the title track is better in comparison to the other songs, but as usual it's a bit prolix and often represented by several repetitive harmonic and melodic lines, whose mood is boring at the end... Absolutely for their fans only!!
