5 stars Another great work by this old and so accurate Mexican band .

While symphonic prog super groups fall in the temptation of adecuation to the present times (Genesis ,Yes, Rush, ELP..etc....)..this guys maintain in a classic inspirited and very well performed symphonic prog rock .

Maybe the last 4 albums were not so good(nevertheless near 4 stars), but I think we always have to be grateful for Cast, s quality music .

This album has very nice songs ,original and so well played songs. A strong work of synthesisers ,strong vocals ...a symphonic prog that in every song takes your fully attention

All long and very well structured songs .

So long live to Cast ...maybe the best Latin-American prog rock band ...(Sagrado Coracao...near....and Nexus too)

For these days a masterpiece of symphonic prog rock

4 stars Mexican band CAST is among the more senior bands still active on the progressive rock scene today, with a history going back to the late '70s and a recording history that started in 1985. Since 1993 Cast has released new material at a steady pace, the band having almost two dozen albums in their discography as of 2016. "Vida" is their most recent studio recording, self-released by the band in 2015.

For those with an interest in vintage era symphonic progressive rock, Cast comes across as a band one should take note of, if you're not already familiar with this veteran band. Those with a particular fondness for well-developed, keyboard-dominated compositions should have a field day with this album, and those with a special affection for violin and keyboards, used in tight interaction within such a framework should most likely find this CD to be an inspired one. This is a quality album for those with a preference for melodic and harmony-oriented vintage symphonic progressive rock
