"I'm so tired of waiting..." (c) ARAGON

Actually, the quoted band is another wing of Prog, but their line is perfectly fitting here. Almost 10 years! PUPPET SHOW hasn't changed - and it's pure enjoyment, I like their "DREAM THEATER meets GENESIS" style, close to fellow USA proggers like CRUCIBLE or DISCIPLINE. "The Tale of Woe" has 3 songs and 3 epics, all filled with various ever- changing themes and marked with melodical gift. High-class musicianship and hella complex structures - the album requires FEW DAYS of constant listening, not just FEW TIMES! My only major complaint (and hence 4 stars instead of deserved 5!) is about the instrumental "God's Angry Man", written and performed in HAPPY FAMILY/ANEKDOTEN/ KC manner. I like that kind of music a lot, but sorry, not in PUPPET SHOW's album! It's like eating salted chocolate bar! Sorry guys, it DOESN'T fit here!!!

Highly recommended for all New Symphonic/Prog Metal/Art Rock devotees...and skip that track! ;)
