CHAPTERS III & IV

Due to my quotation of 4 stars for his first album 'Chapters I & II" of 2008 , I admit that I was a little disappointed when hearing this second album "Chapters III & IV", because in spite of almost bringing all of the musical influences that I mentioned in my review about the first albun (heavy and space prog) with the exception of the symphonic-prog, I believe that the so many invited musicians resulted in a loss of quality and even 'musical identity" for the band. The music not present the same energy and appeal of the previous disk and his sound started to have a little larger approach with the space-prog, different from the first that are much more close of heavy-prog. Howeve,r I still get to detach 2 tracks of the disk; track 2 "Reality Strikes" and the track 7 "Code 6360025" where due to outstanding presence of the sax, the result is a type of Heavy-Prog with jazz and funk "brushstrokes" . My rate is 3 stars!!!!
