 This album is like a Sicilian cannolo without ricotta, a beautiful package that wraps a cheap gift.

 Taproban may have perfectly emulated even Gabriel’s little burp, but they spent everything on their cloning effort reserving the residual energy to recreate a C-Sides of their legendary epigones.

Taproban’s Posidonian Fields heavily imitates early 70s Genesis but fails to deliver originality or engaging material. The album feels like a hollow clone, with only minor highlights such as the track "Octopus." Despite nostalgic appeal, the review criticizes the album's monotony and lack of substance. Dive into the review and decide for yourself if Taproban’s nostalgic prog rock homage hits or misses the mark.

 The beauty of brutal albums is also this, the certainty of its monolithic nature, the awareness that it will never disappoint you with its warm routine embrace.

 An album that for those who hate changes should absolutely make it theirs and dang... only 2 points.

 Metal is still able to proudly display the power of the shockwave of a vandal assault, the vitality of hyperactive Huns, the brutal movements of the lanky Burgundians...

 Liberty or death say the Grave Digger, praising the same freedom of their semi-nomadic fathers.
