2 stars God Has Failed was the debut of RPWL, Pink Floyd tribute band!

And obviously, on this album the British influences are very obvious, especially in the guitar arrangements, vocal melodies and instrumental interludes.

Despite everything, it reminded me of other bands of the time like Spock's Beard and Mostly Autumn. The truth is that I do not understand the Neo-Prog label too much, since God Has Failed is more of a symphonic prog typical of the end of the last millennium.

So, if you like this type of very guitar oriented symphonic rock and don't mind bad singers, you can give God Has Failed a try! I think that the album has its moments, but as a whole it's too dull, repetitive and even uninspired.

Best Tracks: Who do You Think We are (the verses are rather mediocre, but the instrumental guitar interlude, as well as the solo, are excellent), What I Need (good chorus, if somewhat repetitive), In Your Dreams (I love the guitar arpeggios that accompany the verses) and Fool (good slide guitar)

My Rating: **

The Crow | 2/5 |
