 It seems that our guys have almost put together a collection of "B-Sides" from Finisterra rather than having composed a new album.

 Mägo De Oz undoubtedly remain an extremely interesting entity in the Spanish metal panorama, but this time they slightly miss (not by much anyway) the mark.

This review recognizes Mägo De Oz's strengths in instrumentation and vocal delivery on La Ciudad De Los Arboles, but ultimately finds the album lacking the originality and spark that made Finisterra so memorable. While some tracks shine with energy and folk elements, others feel recycled or cliché. The band remains influential in the Spanish metal scene, but this album may not stand the test of time as strongly as its predecessor. Explore Mägo De Oz's La Ciudad De Los Arboles and decide if this album lives up to the legend or revisit their classic Finisterra!
