REMEDY LANE

3 chapters for an album that smells like OMNI, come on, let's take off because after 'The Perfect' I didn't expect better! 1. Of Two Beginnings for the intro that kills... no more war or soft wars where we don't know anything, or too much with the war against covid and this intro already pierces my heart... ! It's beautiful go no need to go further, no I'm extending!

- Chapter 1: 2. Ending Theme with dreadlocks and shaved heads, that suits me for the opening; a phrasing voice, poised, superb, the latent rise nickel, Daniel who sings as if he were at your place, the phrasing very distinct now and this hard, nasty riff.. as for their hair? Yes I still dream of having one, in short just 5 minutes for a trip to Scandinavian lands, Swedish lands, the musical bluff 3. Fandango connects yes 4 drawers that will give; here it is already staggering; a detuned sound... good complex, we'll say Michel, I just came out of Gentle Giant where I didn't understand much, here it's the mixing of different sounds, choirs, a metallic riff, a raw animal sound, a voice with the ZAPPA and a title that can be listened to, glued to its seat; a mixture of hard and pop, brutality and love song, the whole amplified by an instrumentation which... agrees with the wire of the title, disconcerting; how to create a sound, an original, inventive and really brilliant musical structure, the word is... written; piano behind, a break, bellows, whispered words, a cascade of piano keys, choirs, it goes up, Daniel who starts to castrate, too good 4. A Trace of Blood cuts with a piano intro eyeing the waterfall now; the riff, basic, raw, the one I'm waiting for and comforts me that prog has survived thanks to metal whatever people say... a touch of brutality in a progressive ambient atmosphere, yes don't nod your head, in concert we expect this unhealthy heavy violent side; good this trace of blood where it is? in the fingers of Johan, Fredrik or Kristoffer who give it their all without bleeding; I love Johan with his syncopated hit that sets the pace; good the long title where I have the most trouble all the same me progueux in front of the eternal incredible; too melodic, too predictable, I already ask too much of them 5. This Heart of Mine (I Pledge) follows and sets the tone; a not at all bloodthirsty nursery rhyme to rest one's anvils and other stirrups, that's it, I forgot the 3rd one which lodges in our ears, retirement and oblivion arrive and put me in a state of contemplation; I believe... well, I'm trotting from note to note to base a post which I hope will be as expressive as possible on this Swedish sensibility, on this singular creation...

- Chapter 2: 6. Undertow and the memory of this fabulous concert, let me fly, let me dream on this brutally gentle track, on a crescendo where the intensity develops a saving impression; the desire of all progeurs to want to see their group evolve with this dark, dirty, hard side... but in a controlled way, in short, a title that every musician has dreamed of playing 7. Rope Ends continues and breaks the rhythm from the intro, Daniel's voice used as an instrument; air leaves, seems out of tune..; like GENTLE GIANT? I loved this album for this mixture of basic heavy sounds with progressive drifts, I love this hard riff which can frighten the Canterburyan, I love when Daniel sees his phrasing mixed with these warm choirs; a smooth rise, a unique exercise in style, like the wooden piano of time, the pad and the shearing guitar riff, an oriental orientation à la ZAPPA, PAIN OF SALVATION is truly unique; here it goes jazz-rock for a while but a supercharged jazz and the single-phase choirs come back, bewitch the ear with the hammer which vibrates even more, well I found that one 8. Chain Sling follows...pompous, animalistic, brutal; calm, gentle, mesmerizing; this air still oriented towards the thousand and one nights, towards the wild festivals where the pigs were roasted and gulped down warm while the cervoise flowed from dirty mouths; wow this title sends heavy, well I got a little lost but what was it good... nod to those who have their avatar on a hops slope 9. Dryad of the Woods to complete this second triptych and the musical beauty embodied; yes it's not prog he starts to bother us with that, if it continues... but yes precisely it continues on an instrumental drift stirring (hops eh!) folk, arpeggio, Andalusian air... kind of 'mod'ler' with which I say hello to my big son who said that.. small on 'Innuendo' by QUEEN... see where PAIN OF SALVATION takes us: a bit of piano to end this dreamlike passage

- Chapter 3: 10. Remedy Lane ..., ..., ..., ..., my head is spinning, I'm shaking, I know I'm going to put this track back on replay: the one I spent the most with 'Merlin will', 'Eurekâ In Extenso' and 'Mae Dae'... looking for bands is easy; a title, the title that made me love my speakers by pushing the sound and feeling the wood, the insulating wool and the paint vibrate on these notes; good what else to write? concentrated prog, avant-garde sound, an air that nails you to your chair, your armchair... your cross; synths that make your teeth clash, that remove fillings, that stop time, that's Remedy! Ok, I stayed objective. 11. Waking Every God ... yes it took a nah not a God to wake up a title on which I have the most trouble; at that moment I said to myself it's the wear and tear 70 minutes you don't swallow like that; I tried in 1st but no nothing helps... this album is a good concept, each title fits together as you listen, too bad we can't say that I'm subjective! Well the riff is good, Johan's solo rolls by itself...but that's the way it is 12. Second Love follows and launches the melanco-romantic ballad but I can't sleep anymore, I am completely taken, bewitched, hypnotized and amazed by this album; so a little sensitivity doesn't hurt; the guitar solo seems more highlighted in fact on a title of this caliber, Daniel excites a little more the sensitive chord on the emotion; you start dreaming of seeing them again in stadiums, the whole audience hanging arm in arm and taking up the chorus, beautiful end... 13. Beyond the Pale... nay! the sharp notes come out there on the right, Daniel whispers, oh there that riff, yes in concert it was also devastating; rock metal at its peak, it's heavy, it rocks, it drives, this riff listen to the...the rise where you're waiting for the chorus...10 mins of intense trance, 10 mins of musical high, 10 mins of suspended time with soft, strong, padded, violent and dreamlike drawers; the military battery to relax and it starts again on a generalized programmed violence, Daniel at the limit of the cry! boom the solo that kills well yes we really arrive at the end so we knock out all the floors; let's go back to this note... sharp, I'm going to take my shower, I'm bathed in sweet sweat having made an effort not to scream the total success of this album.
