"Breathless" is the album that made me start losing interest in CAMEL's discography: probably not their worst record but definitely the first not good one. The songs here are average Pop: "Summer lightning" and "You make me smile" are kind of disco music while tracks as "Wing and prayer" and "Down on the farm" are so lame and forgettable that I have to be listening to them so I can remember what they sound like.

The album is not a total waste: "Echoes" and "The sleeper" are great songs that bring back the sound of the previous (good) albums of CAMEL but in general terms, if you haven't heard this album you're not missing too much and the saddest part is that this album is the beginning of a collection of very lame albums of a band that was amazing in its first records.

SONG RATING: Breathless, 3 Echoes, 4 Wing and prayer, 2 Down on the farm, 2 Starlight ride, 3 Summer lightning, 3 You make me smile, 2 The sleeper, 4 Rainbow's end, 3

AVERAGE: 2.89

PERCENTAGE: 57.78

ALBUM RATING: 2 stars
