actually it's worth 4.5, so I'm calculating the average

I haven't listened to it yet, even though the previous works were far from bad. I will buy it, even though I'm a bit skeptical about Degre's "nice guy" transformation, today a likable interlocutor for journalists and fabifazi after being an unbearable bear for 30 years (and without mentioning the classic years of protest, I recall one of his concerts in Monza where he literally told the people who had the audacity to ask for encores to fuck off). Great review.

I’m sorry, it would be a clear 5 but there’s this little problem: "Janis is another beautiful, passionate slow song, a bit melancholic and moving in the flute parts, where Cyril Havermans' bass." The sentence is cut off, what the heck were you trying to say? However, I must admit that a 4 would just be revenge for having found your review that I would have liked to write, so a 4.6 gets rounded up. Great job anyway. This album is stunning, I finally have it and now I think I’ll buy the others too. In my opinion, instrumentally they are excellent; they may not have invented anything new, but they are truly a top-level group.

I will go against the grain: in my opinion, the flaw of Acqua Fragile is Lanzetti, unbearable when he tries to gabrieleggiare and even more so when he wants to gigioneggiare. In certain registers, his voice sounds like a caricature. That said, it's an excellent album, a bit Genesis-like but not too much; Bar Gazing is the masterpiece. I also find echoes of Yes, especially in the harmonies of Professor.

no comment, every word is superfluous to define the wonderful Kate

Of course, I would never dream of mixing new prog and post-90s bands like echolyn, anglagard, and others, which generally have a completely different approach, much less derivative and more complex musically. Although in reality I adore Marillion. But the two phenomena are very, very different. Well, then I'll wait for as the world, maybe I will attempt suffocating the bloom or the latest the end is beautiful.

synthetic yet impeccable. I am not familiar with the complete works of Pendragon, but I know this one, and I believe it's the best. My rating would be 4.5 for some moments that are a bit too lightweight, however, I don't mind Barrett's voice, and the keyboard-guitar atmospheres in the longer and more complex tracks (The Black Knight, but also Alaska) are really interesting. It's true, the tracks added in the 2005 edition didn’t add anything, but in my opinion, they are better than tracks 8 and 9 (which were added in the first CD edition, I believe; I had the album on cassette and there were 7 songs) that date back to the first mini LP. Barrett on guitar is great; this year he also took part in the 25th-anniversary tour of Script for a Jester's Tear with that poor guy Mick "Labrador" Pointer (the first drummer of Marillion) and an embarrassing clone of Fish on vocals. He is the only one who can hold his own: but who had him do it?

Yes, it's a thought that's been swirling in my mind for a few weeks now, but I'm still processing it; I don't feel ready.

Anglagard are not bad. And neither are Anekdoten. As for Echolyn, in my opinion, they are "out of competition": they require attentive and thorough listening but are truly stellar.

Damn it, I really thought I was giving 3. Now I'm voting again to balance it out.
