CRYSTAL MAZE

The funny thing with this album is that the few songs that are (short) instrumentals aren't that bad at all, they are even quite good. But when the very mediocre (if not poor) vocals come into the picture the compositions and sound of these songs don't come out at all. These songs are flat, poorly executed and also the production isn't really what it should be.

Besides the few nice short instrumentals there's one song that really stands out, both in compositional as in executional way and that song is called Is there a Place ? This is actually a very good song with good vocals this time and a very good instrumental part. But all the other tracks are way below par I have to say.

What they sound like ? Imagine the least Saga album and then even less. That is more or less the style we are talking about on this album. Or in other words, this one is just about too good for the lowest rating but two stars is the best I can do.
