I thought the bottom had been touched with the review of Falling into Infinity... but here the guy starts digging. Anyway, I think he's really young and quite fanatic... but he says some nonsense, doesn't he? Maybe this review would fit better in a school diary...

really terrible review... unreadable... it tells me nothing about the album, it doesn't make me want to listen to it, it doesn't convey your emotions about it... and then that ending... come on, seriously... what the hell!

"Just Let Me Breath, perhaps the most captivating song on the album, full of energy and ...
...To be continued." are you crazy? what the hell does that mean?

"Then there is Lines In The Sand, which with its 12 minutes highlights the technical skill of the 5 Americans." Why does its length emphasize technical skill? In what way?

"...it stands out as one of the best instrumental songs by Dream Theater because it doesn't tire the audience even after many listens given its short duration..." just because it's short it doesn't tire? For no other reason?

"Song number 3, Peruvian Skies, is certainly a song of high technical and melodic level, even though it has a sound that recalls the great Pink Floyd"... I don't understand if it's a good or bad thing that it reminisces the sound of Pink Floyd?

"The CD begins with the intriguing New Millennium, which gets the party started by captivating the listener with its unique and original melodies"... what does that mean?

Come on guys... listenable, nothing more. Let's drop the embarrassing comparisons. The similarities don't refer to specific plagiarisms, but to a kind of plagiarism of atmospheres and situations, as well as the use of some tricks that are really very, very derivative. When you listen to the album and you find yourself saying too many times "this is like that..." "this is like the other..." "check out this piece reminiscent of Pink Floyd..." it means that something is off... that's all. It's as if they picked up the concept manual and recorded the album. In short, a nice little effort for their level, but too much MIDI effect and a bit too much sentimentality.

I said this is not the best concept in history because someone said so. If it wasn't you who is responding, evidently it wasn't aimed at you! You probably don't have the necessary references to understand how much this album (which I actually like) is a blatant copy and paste, cut and paste, turning and twisting of a thousand other groups and concepts. There's a bit of everything, like American pizza, a wink here, a wink there. If you make a concept and the first song reminds you of "Outside the Wall," in the penultimate song there are female choirs like in "Brain Damage," there's an intro with a female vocalization like in "Great Gig in the Sky," and you revisit the same theme multiple times, it immediately comes to mind: damn, this is Pink Floyd at full throttle. And I don't get a chill down my spine for the originality of these 5 musicians, who by the way produce themselves, so it's all their own stuff. You can't just say it's the same producer as... that's why they sound alike. We have provided other references in all the previous posts. If you go listen to the mentioned bands, you'll jump out of your chair and say: "Just like in 'Metropolis' by Dream!" and doubts will start to creep in about the artistic validity of the aforementioned album. Even though understandably you'll continue to listen to the CD and enjoy it. I like it too. In fact, look, I'm putting it on now: "tick.. tack... tick... tack.. tick... tack... close your eyes and begin to relax..."

I listen to everything, but I know how to spot the impostors, the dealers of nothing ;0)
