Well you know that - despite of recognizing their excellent sound production as usual (especially talking about the best sound
engineering, as well as their typical polished production...) - I don't get crazy for a few songs in the vein of "Wildest Dreams" or some
other tunes closer to the previous issue...Instead I prefer the most unusual aspects of their music, such as those ones emerged
from their diverse "Generation 13th" and - generally - if you listen to a few albums where the sound is just a little bit hard. Don't get
me wrong, the imprinting of the band is always present and also a certain energy inside; nevertheless I can't see a great
development of the music plot, anyway concluded by means of their attempt to write the word "end" to their long-date important
project with M. Sandler (in the course of thirty years!!), within a sort of music testament. For example the song "More Than I
Deserve" is "symptomatic", regarding of a strange situation inside the band...probably it's the lack of inspiration or a certain sense of
tiredness, I don't know, anyway that's the result of a long tiring music career. It reminds me of a similar situation within the line-up of
Spock's Beard a few yeas ago, when the leader - Mr Morse -decided to split from the band...also in that situation there was a point of
no-return and They couldn't find an easy way out from the "stagnation" concerning their composition. "Corkentellis" is the unfailing
instrumental number, but it's not a strong break-through, at least if They keep on running all their typical influences and music styles
too; it's a fast resumè of their career, all along their almost complete music puzzle (put together in great haste) however concerning
(unfortunately) the last chapter of Mr Sandler with Saga.Even though you're not a long date fan probably you will like it anyway, especially if you appreciate the recent albums by Spock's Beard or the most accessible ensemble of Pallas...make your own choice as usual!!
