3 stars Listening diary 14th September, 2021: Arena - Immortal? (neo-prog, 2000)

Probably the most nondescript of Arena's short run of decent-but-not-great albums in the late 90's and early 00's, playing a pretty textbook style of neo-prog, without any of the quasi-metal influence that would lift them up a bit later on. It's all very competent and very well performed, but the bloat factor is real once again, with half of these tracks stretching a few decent ideas out to lengths that aren't really justified. They retain their keen melodic sense throughout though, even if this doesn't have any truly world class tunes.

6.2 (4th listen)
