THE POWER AND THE GLORY

And there goes the album with the most decent prog rock cover and title! GG took their mission and chops seriously once again and deliver the album which is, in my opinion, little surprising and rather, continues in their mid 70's slightly streamlined but still very powerful and unique maze of complex rhythm changes, brilliant vocal exercises and excellent symphonic moments. The first track, "Proclamation" can be a suitable representative track of the album with all traits I've mentioned above. It is also less repetitive that what you hear later through the album. "So sincere" can be rhythmically one of their most challenging track, sounds very incoherent at first listens but you'll hear the binding motive later on. "Aspirations" has a modern facade with lush keyboards, simplified drumming and greater accessibility. "Playing the game" is the second great epic on the album with typical GG motives. The second half of the album is slightly worse but all in all, it is still a very strong album.
