4 stars This new release from Glenn Snelwar and his project AT WAR WITH SELF in 2015 ,is something trully amazing and sensational under all aspects!First of all,the whole music on the album is composed of one monster track,divided into many smaller musical parts!The title of the album speaks itself about the high complexity and sophisticated music that we have on this material!German drummer genius Marco Minnemann is the author of the track,basically it's a monster composition of about 50 minutes of drumming wizardry,and Mr Snelwar managed to include some other nstruments,like guitars and keyboards,to give the product a very clever and complex final form!Definitelly,this is the most ambitious,complete and complex material to date for Glenn,and shows his amazing capacities to make a very complicated and diverse musical arrangement,based on the drum structure of a song!Trully crazy idea,...but,in the end...the final result is astonishing!Fantastic,very good production too,all the instruments sound excellent,and the cohesion,symbiosis,the organic structure of the drumming with the guitars and percussion instruments provided by Mr Snelwar is impressive!All the tracks ,even they are short and weird,give to the album a unitar structure,that's trully amazing how Mr Snelwar managed to gave such a cohesion to the drumming structures,in combination to the other instruments!Musically speaking...it's very complicated technical ,prog metal,and many auditions are 100 % necessary to fully understand the message of such ambitious piece of true art!!!The clever mix between electric and acoustic guitars,some amazing percussion instruments and great keyboars sounds-everything is a very intense and mature musical experience,not an easy listening at all,but ,in the end,we have the satisfaction and excitement of a great musical adventure!4.5 stars and a sincere BRAVO to the authors of this amazing album!
