These solid vision really amazed me!!!!
These 5 guys from Cagliari truly have the potential to become one of the leading figures in the world of progressive metal (and I am not exaggerating...). This album is a blend of technique, melody, and precision and has laid the groundwork for the next album/masterpiece "The Hurricane."
But let’s proceed in order: the album begins with the song "Out Of Control", a complex track that also features a solo that can be defined as a small gem. The vocals are nothing short of astonishing. The songs "Cos'In My Way" and "I Believe In You" relatively abandon the progressive elements to make room for simple yet beautiful compositions. "It’s All For You" instead harkens back to the style of "Out Of Control". At times, this song resembles Symphony X. The album continues with "Veronica", a linear track featuring an alternation between acoustic and electric guitar. The vocals are nothing less than sublime. "Get Away" is a song in full Dream Theater style, indeed it has a solo that vaguely recalls those of Petrucci. "Perfect Silence" and "I Can't Explain" are two pieces with strong power connotations. Both songs feature a brilliant vocal performance. "Upside Down" is a beautiful instrumental track with a splendid guitar riff at the beginning. And here begins the last part of the record, the true focal point of the entire album: "Angel Divine" is a song that sends chills down your spine. It is extremely rare to find songs with such intensity. "The Man Without A Face" is a song introduced by an excellent guitar and keyboard performance. Needless to talk about the solo: fabulous! "Lyly" is the real surprise of this album: it is sung entirely in Italian. The lyrics are beautiful, as is the composition.
In conclusion: every progressive music enthusiast should own this album. These 5 guys pour their soul into their songs, and this is exactly what music needs: passion.
