JUMBO

GROBSCHNITT on this album show their great performing capabilities, the sound is perfectly produced and crystal clear, and all the usual elements of "symphonic" style are present. I can even sense a hint of German humour (although not understand) in the opening and closing lyrics. But, I cannot say that this album opened any new ground for my tastes. Nothing essentially new is present here, so it is basically a re-cycling of the old prog ideas. Surely, it is all done in a confident and plausible way. Vocal is energetic but not entirely for my taste.
