AFTER CRYING 6

The most genial and versatile album, except on a few discontinuous parts and, for this reason only, the score is "4 stars". Moreover the accented English of the vocalist sometimes disturbs us, even though actually this album is worth something more ("4 stars and an half" at least) for its creativity: the first track is characterized by a mood in the vein of Stravinsky at the beginning, then becoming more Frank ZAPPA-like, thanks to a sort of 70's detective movie soundtrack and even a medieval mood in the 2nd track ... instead the conclusion is a perfect tribute to EMERSON LAKE & PALMER, "Pirates"-like, afterwards becoming more personal as well as powerful at the end. This is a controversial but to me recommended album...!
