4 stars "Welcome to Krimus world" with the warm classic intro, airy piano, vocals and Tullian flute for a laudatory introduction. "Techno war" continues, the sound moving towards prog metal in RUSH, ah the strafing of DREAM THEATER; the metal barrier is crossed; the rhythmic, choppy tune, a bold metallic guitar solo and the muffled bass hark back to the prog metal of the 80s and 90s, good in itself but without real creativity; there's a monolithic feel to it broken up by Paul's narration in an Orson-like tone. "Reign of terror" on a metallic title, like in the good old days of the 80s; fat, nervous, hold the MEGADETH with even a growl voice; the break with synth solo brings together and connects with prog metal in the tradition of ETERNITY "Love will always live" begins on folk flute for an acoustic track with Chloé on vocals; a rustic title which denotes the imprint of the group, a tune which draws on the BEATLES and LED ZEPPELIN; majestic, warm organ; the finale borders on psychedelic pop, singular. "This eternal light" continues the story of the people subjected to the mad dictator; on a musical level it's a fusion between double pedal metal on UNEXPECT and DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA; prog metal where the flute leads back to JETHRO TULL, closer on OVERHEAD; explosive, with this bluesy break again featuring Paulo; Simon treats us to a spleen enthusiastic solo, the GENESIS side with this solemn organ, the finale with a chorus 'The Wall' charming and full of memories.

"Master lab" cinematic intro a time before the return of the punchy prog metal tune, well rhythmic and a growl voice that brings discredit; don't worry it must be the aliens since the tone softens and returns to the original tune, disconcerting. "Phymat" same tune with more nervous phrasing, on RUSH, a SHADOW GALLERY for the tonal differences within the title; on TOKYO BLADE for the rhythm, for the growl voice we go beyond the prog metal context; the break with Fabian's sax once again disrupts the musical framework and the Gary MOORE- style guitar solo, bluesy then heavy, returns to prog metal lands. "Not alone" catchy tune at the start, using synths then vintage keyboards for a neo-hard prog sound; the break with bold guitar and organ leers on a DEEP PURPLE from the 80s bringing regression, a crystalline piano variation drives the point home for the memories, the comparison with DREAM THEATER is well marked here. "A muse Overture" yes the opening before the end, this album is definitely nothing like the others; a solemn Genesisian organ, ah yessian throughout this short moment, very good, cinematic but above all majestic. "A muse fall" continues on the same tune; bam it goes, it explodes, sax from a third member, Bernard, consensual verse before a crazy chorus bordering on a rock opera, singular; eight forming a chaste choir and the sax is quickly joined by Simon, hold PANZERBALLETT in the background; the bass is powerful and allows for a musical release that QUEEN or MR BUNGLE would not have denied; one more break and bam a disco moment, like PAIN OF SALVATION and their 'Disco Queen' quickly overtaken by the growl and the triple drums, hilarious I say; Go to the end of the Autumn Fair with the country organ.
