STORIES, SONGS & SYMPHONIES

I wonder why this album usully gets negative reviews. I find this quite interesting, atmospheric and original. Indeed, there are some weak points, including the accented vocals for most reviewers, but I believe that all the tracks of the album are at a quite high level as prog compositions. True, the whole project is overambitious in terms of compositions while the band members were evidently not fully able to fulfil these high ambitions, but listening to the album is quite worthwhile: it is surely German prog without being reminiscent of anything else, the compositions are long and melodic -some, like me, will find the vocals quite warm too. Give it a try!
