5 stars Well ok so after two masterpieces The perfect Element and Remedy Lane comes Be. BE is definitely less accesible than the previous album maybe becaue the music flows around the concept here and not the other way around and the concept is quite profound and complex.

Now for me this is PoS best album and one of the biggest masterpieces ever in progressive rock.

So the album starts with a dialogue which is obviously crucial for the concept now this is exactly what some people don't like i mean they say that the album is too focused on the concept, i guess it's a matter of taste.

The first song is Imago (homines partus) and it's pure beauty, perfection, the orchestra of eternity does a superb job as does the band, Daniel Glidenlow vocals are once again perfect (ha) and the album moves on, every now and then stopping the music and you can hear a dialogue or someone reading some news but everything fits, it really does, I just love the different roles Daniel plays on the album particularly mr. Money on Dae Pecuniae which is one of the best PoS songs ever, a really good and fun song where the vocals are definitely the highlight.

Later on Daniel raps a little against god but it's amazing (lol).

Almost at the end of the album comes 2 songs that are just fantastic, Iter Impius which i consider to be the best song by PoS and Martius\Nauticus II. A Perfect ending for a perfect album.

This album is truly an amazing experience and in my opinion PoS highest point so far. One of the top progressive albums ever recorded but it's not easy to digest, as is often the case with albums and bands like this
