3 stars The last album for Demetrio has been launched in the same year as the title says. At first let me say this is a fantastic album on that all AREAers might introduce sound variations all around and construct quite refined, well-matured world of eccentricity. These auditory effects here and there undies with each other are excellent indeed but Demetrio's magnificent spiritual power might have been gradually attenuated, it's my speculation though. On the contrary, instrumental affection based upon active, strict, explosive play would get more intenser ... this is another reality in this creation.

Via this album we cannot feel any of tragedy that the genuine voice creator would be likely to leave the great combo away. As above mentioned their play is quite intensive and positive, and Demetrio's voices are as powerful and immersive as well. And more of sensuality, I cannot understand Italian language though. Yes this album might not have any issue in a critical manner. Wondering why little impressive texture can be grabbed at least in my ears. Because this album sounds more of RPI-ish melodious progressive rock / pop rather than of powerful, aggressive, and violent jazz rock like their debut stuff? No, not at all.

Every single song can be created and produced greatly indeed, but no unification of the whole album nor energetic "spirit" can be heard actually ... yes there is something lacking. I guess all members should play with their enthusiasm upon every song without suspicion. It's really a difficult case each song be as good as another, "at the similar level" ... surely the collection of "not bad" songs must attenuate the identity of the album. It's a pity they created such a great colourful variation featuring the worldwide essence for every track. Tough looseness should have been another reason of Demetrio's resignation, I'm afraid. Not bad nevertheless.
