SNOW

Being a sucker for rock-prog concept albums this one should fit me as a glove one would think. And in a way it does. The all but too obvious religious theme doesn't bother me at all. Many of the songs are beautifully written an well performed. The story is interesting.

So whats the downside?

It's too long! It's as simple as that, the album is just too long. For me this album belongs in the same group as Marillion's "brave" and Dreamtheater's "Scene of a memory". both being really good albums, neither being double cd-s.

It's a 4 star album. Sadly I'm sure it would have been a crystal clear fivestar had they reduced it onto one cd.
