Unlike many progressive works, even the most acclaimed ones, this one, despite being so dated, is not the usual music that impacts at a “cerebral” level, but rather brings with it a strong physical sensation, I would say made of emotions, or better “passionate,” which demands attention with each listen, and not the usual distracted “quickie”; still unique and unrepeatable, it eludes any categorization. More than just another of the many records of the moment, organized like a banal sequence of tracks that you could interchangeably reverse, Pawn Hearts, despite the time passed, still seems as current as a perfect unified work, in which our artists have reached the "state of the art," meaning that they could never have done better. In a perfect crescendo, the instruments gradually take the stage, meticulously and sequentially building an exciting lyrical crescendo up to the emphatic conclusion. An album to love without ifs and buts.
