4 stars One of my favorite albums of TFK, this group manages to show a modern sound, borders the progmetal engaging melodies and exploring the most of their synthesizers. The album in question comes with high doses of moogs and Mellotrons, what I find interesting is how a singer can show one side of the identity of the group not overshadow other components. "Dream on Dreamer", a beautiful ballad that marks our minds, while tracks like "I Am the Sun Part 1" and "Rumble Fish Twist" seeks inspiration in the classics of the progressive: TRIUMVIRAT and ELP. Weight and nostalgia runs from "Monster Within "followed by a powerful church organ, the rhythmic variations as well as the work of the vocals are very interesting. Unfortunately," Underdog "can not pasar a pop music trying to sound like a bad music of Yes" Slave to Money "the group back into lines Melotron and church organ with some hints of jazz and classical music. "A Kings Prayer" is revealed as another of the album's hit, I have the feeling of hearing something like Pallas, especially in the chorus. This disc ends with the second part of the first track, nothing as exciting as it repeats most of the tunes that first. Space Revolver is a great album, only suffers because not only that but like other albums of the group and even by exaggerating Karmakanic vehicles that are always made with long solos that sound meaningless.
