4 stars A high quality album by Beardfish, more focused than their second effort and full of creativity. The guitar playing is not virtuoso but creative and set of keyboard sounds is really huge. Drumming is consistent although perhaps instrumentally the weakest element of the sound. The voice is equally powerful and emotional. Instrumental passages are real highlights that demonstrate band coherence. Melodies are well thought out.

"Rouelette" offers interesting harmonica sound and dynamic rhythm changes. Ballads or let's call them melancholic songs are represented by "Dark poet" with emotional vocal and piano notes. "Harmony" has a very retro Hammond organ lines and sound. The composition thus has a slight soul touch marked by the passionate vocals and mighty organ. "The ungodly snob" is a keyboard tour-de-force with a myriad of moods and sounds: various synths, organs and electric/acoustic pianos. "Same old song (sunset) reminds of 70's smooth rock with progressive rock touches, which is a rather strange combination.
