QUANDO A SORTE TE SOLTA UM CISNE NA NOITE

Araújo's second album feels a bit less fresh than his debut. Once again he's wearing his influences on his sleeve, with Floydiana being an attempt to riff on some of Pink Floyd's signature sound (especially with that David Gilmour-esque guitar line partway through it), whilst "Pop Music" is anything but, sounding if anything like early PFM trying for the sort of jazzy texture of early Caravan. I think the release suffers compared to Araújo's other albums, which tend to have a bit more polish; it's a bit of a transitional piece where he's feeling out a lot of potential directions, all of which he's able to produce appealing material in, but he's not committing enough to truly excel at any of them.
