UTOPIA PERFECTION

Intresting is the word every time I hear this album. Utopia perfection from 2007 is the debute album of finish band Discordia. Man, this was a real ride for me this album, here we have everything from eclectic moments, jazzy parts, avant prog most of the time, even some prog metal arrangements on one piece. I like the combination of femal/male voice on this release Riikka and Tero done a good job, very nice aswell as single voices. The passages are to me most of the time as I said before avant prog , maybe the eclectic side of avant, evey tune is a joy to listen, fun and of course with good musiciansgip all over. The melted styles one into other from this album for sure are intresting and definetly winner in my book, but I can't say it that this is really great or essential, is ok well played and all but overall not groundbreaking I must say, still pleasent most of the time. Forte tracks to me are Speak directly, the I and II parts from Slave planet and Mighty Power Of Metal reminds of that '80's metal bands having a great chorus. All in all intristing album, funy cover art aswell, but by no means essential. 3 stars
