4 stars Adagio is a great band that is very reminiscent to Symphony X, but with a more classical feel to their music. The songs are incredibly complex, intrincate (and well structured songs), and it actually took some time to grow on me and get complete enjoyment of the album. The atmospheres are dark and sad, and there are more keys than on SX. On the other hand, the guitarist, Stephan Forte, is amazing, VERY influenced by shredders in the vein of Romeo (what a coincidence, you know), Malmsteen, Macalpine, and similars. His solos are actually very imaginative, and undoubtly he has a talent.

The best tracks are the first three and the epic Underworld. Though it gets a bit cheesy at moments, some heaviness, thrash metal riffs solve the things out. Very good album.

Rating: 4.0/5
