THE ALL EUROPEAN HERO

This Galleon album is one of my favorite actually. Although, the general consensus is that this is one of Galleon's worst efforts. Galleon sound is never complicated neo prog, and that can be a good thing. They stick to what they know best and do not experiment much in their sound. Let other band do the difficult and risky things. Galleon plays it save. About the album: It is sort of semi concept album. The songs on this album are much more connected with each other than in previous albums like, for example King of Aragon and Heritage and Visions. Personally, I dig more coherent albums, because it puts you in a mood that lasts longer, so the experience of the music is more intense. The down side of concept albums is that when you do not like it, the whole album is not worth listening. But because I like this semi-concept album, I give it 4 stars. I do not think it is an essential piece of music, but I do want to emphasize my preference towards this Galleon album over others the Swedish neo prog band released.
