8.4/10 For some odd reason, something lured me into listening to this album. Maybe it was of the concept? I don't know. But i can safely say, it was worth the listening.

This is nothing that Camel has done yet. We know this band for their prog rock albums like Mirage, The Snow Goose and Moonmadness, but this is unique in its style, and in a good way!

Harbour Of Tears tells the story of an irish family and how their kids we're painfully separated so they can have a better future in the USA. And oh boy when i say its emotional, its very emotional.

All of the tracks have this irish folk influence that greatly goes with the prog rock sound of the album, also cause you know. It goes with the concept!

My only gripe is that some tracks go too long in some cases, but it's still a very minor problem.

And The Hour Candle. What can i say? Its a beautiful track that ends with the sounds of tidal waves from an ocean, a perfect way to end this album.

So yeah i love this record, and i would say you should give it a try if you like to listen to new exotic folkloric styles from other countries!
