3 stars Not bad, not good. Far from their debuts. 1. Time is like a river : a good rock ballad 2. Wild as the wind : a good rock ballad. Guccio shows his big big big talent and his tremendous voice (remember "Fly"). 3. You're the woman : very good title in metal prog style (the best of that album). 4. Dreams and fascination : I'm sorry but this song is not lasting for 54 minutes (see up)! It's a light and strong metal line rock song with an (strange but good effect of) electronic distorsion of Guccio's voice. It tastes a bit Oasis or something like that. The second one best title of this album. 5. Breathe : ballad. Point. 6. Take all the moments : rock FM a bit metal and pleasant after all. from second #24 to second #42 it sounds very ambiant style. 7. Killing life : Long piece. Prog rock ? Yes it is. With a very nice piano line. Borbé is a very intelligent keyboardist. Drums and percussions are on the top. Thank you Ysaye. The 3rd best title of the album. 8. The real show : rock'n roll title. Good guitars, good voices (Marc+Mario lead and other members background vocal). Unfortunately, once again, we can listen to the poor english accent of Mario... It's a pity. 9. Save my soul : ballad. So folk ! Listen to the paroles... Hmm, following track please ;) 10. Out of you : after "Save my Soul" this title wakes up. Metal once again. Not good, not bad. The chorus stays in mind. At 2:02 minutes, you don't believe what you're listening to... Led Zep ? Deep Purple ? Yes it's true. Listen to by yourself. 11. Clowns : punk rock title. Strange inside this album. A title not expected or unexpected. 12. So long : dedicated to the belgian singer Pierre RAPSAT. It's a melancolic ballad. Borbé is almost playing on the entire title a kind of classical piano music. Close your eyes during 7:29 and after the last piano note, it's the end of the album.
