4 stars Well, I ve already have a 5 star review for "Whos the Boss" under my sleeve and considering Karmakanic is one of my favourite and first prog bands I ve heard, I have the obligation to write something about their last and incredible "Dot". "God The Universe And Everything Else No One Really Cares About" is a total masterpiece song, would only give 5 star to the album because of that suite but I feel I need to talk about the full 50 minute experience. Saying that "Whos the boss" is more of a perfect album from start to finish, in comparison to "Dot" that falls a bit under that line. It starts perfect, nothing bad to say about the first half of the album. The album starts to decline a bit with "Steer by the stars", sort of ballad a bit unecessary in my opinion. I know there should be a ballad altough we talking bout prog albums; But I feel that "Higher Ground" kind of fulfill that space in this case. I would rather "Travelling Minds" making it to a 9 or 10 minute mark song. And finally, the second and slower paced part of the long suite to close the album, which I admit is really difficult to mantain the intensity of such bold and deep statement from beginning to end. Somewhere between 4 and 5 stars feels legit for "Dot".
