3 stars It's kind of funny that this Polish band has an English name and the album title does as well, yet they sing in Polish. Go figure. Anyway this is a pretty good Symphonic band who employ lots of synths.

"Ci Wybrani" opens with lots of keyboards then we get a guitar solo before a minute followed by vocals. Not a fan at all of the vocals on this tune. More guitar 3 1/2 minutes in.Thunder and rain end it. "Stary Noe" is much better with the gentle guitar and reserved vocals. Vocal melodies come and go. "Zloty Promien Slonca" is brighter and more uptempo. Synths come to the fore 1 1/2 minutes in. Guitar before 3 minutes.

"Widok Z Gory Najwyzszej" opens with what sounds like theremin or else very spacey synths. Gentle guitar joins in around a minute then vocals. Those spacey synths come and go throughout on this mellow track. "Ten Najpiekniejszy Dzien" is the over 19 minute side long closing suite. It opens with guitar and synths. It's building as drums join in. Vocals after 2 1/2 minutes. It settles with synths before 6 1/2 minutes. Vocals are back before 9 minutes. It picks up with guitar around 14 minutes. Spacey synths a minute later as it settles again. Reserved vocals after 16 minutes. Vocal melodies before 18 1/2 minutes.

I really like the second track through to the fourth song but the opening tune and to some extent the closing track aren't quite up to par. Still a good album that is close to four stars. 3.5 stars for now.
