Very difficult to write a review for this CD because its not my favorite genre but I will have a go! This is a very polished act ! some very good songs and some fantastic playing. Moonlight Comedy fit into the technical prog metal mold however there is perhaps a lot more melody and hooks going on in their music, Fans of Dream Theater and Pain Of Salvation should take note of Moonlight Comedy as I am fairly sure that they will be pleasing to this audience. One of the strongest features of Moonlight Circus is they have a extremely good vocals in a way the singer reminds me of a cross between Russel Allen (in deliverance) & Daniel Gildenlow (for emotion) The vocals are wonderful considering this band is Italian and they sing completely in English, the singer has perfect diction. Its a bit of a trip listening to this Cd like being on a roller coaster ride, its seems to conjure up extreme complexity and heaviness one moment then all of a sudden you exit from that to a smooth melodic section of the track, anyway that's just a basic description I am sure if you get this Cd you will be happy with it. It is not an overly long Cd just the perfect length sometimes the overly long duration of a Cd can be a problem but in this case Moonlight Comedy seem to have edited things so only top notch material is there, no filler ! The Cd's duration is approx 60 minutes As I said at the start of this review the Dream Theater type technical stuff isn`t really my bag but even I will be playing this Cd again !

My rating 75% add an extra 5% because its not my favourite genre makes it a 4 star Cd
