3 stars Definitively the work of maturity for this Spanish band, even though I like to remark that there are also some defects within, in comparison to their previous album "Muttered Promises". First of all the vocal excursion of the singer is a bit compressed, as sometimes it sounds a little tiring during some melodic breaks through. Nevertheless the effort of "Galadriel" within their last suite, sometimes melodic, in other circumstances tinged with dark colours, is able to let the listener change idea about the real consistency of this ensemble. A bit prolix and uneven, the last suite is characterized by a good range of dynamics and melodic guitar excursions as well, which make the whole album quite interesting, even though it is not completely essential... The other tracks are always quite compact, sometimes resembling the fusion sound, in other music passages closer to some symphonic passages of 20th century (listen to their "Bolero", emulating the job by Ravel), but these latter are like a small music fragment in between!! As for my considerations above, to me - at the end - this work is interesting, despite of some boring music passages... Make your own choice!!
