THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

I think the average rating for this album is just about right after 15 reviews. It's what I had in mind when I gave this a last and final listen yesterday. And in fact it was a long time ago since the previous time. This was neo I played in the mid-nineties when this band was at its peak and then I mean mr. Clive Nolan in particular.

In the beginning I really loved this one, Half Moon street was the first track I got familiar with thanks to a sampler. I thought that song was very good but when I analize it afterwards it was also because the rest of the sampler was far less. Still, a nice track this but other tracks appeared a lot better even, like The Hunger and Through the looking glass. I still feel that way, the other tracks are really not that great to me.

This is more or less a concept album about Alice in Wonderland, I don't know the story in detail (it's a typical British tale) but it's of course recognizable to let your concept album deal with such a famous story. At least you already have your lyrics as a start. In this album I also feel the story is more significant than the music, that is if I compare this album with the other two.

It's because I'm not too thrilled musicwise I can't go as far as 4 stars for this, so 3 (3,25 to be more precise) it is.
