GENTLE KNIFE

I start my review about GENTLE KNIFE "Gentle Knife" talking with a little frustration, because after listen the two initial tracks my impression was very good. The first track " Eventide" a very well done mix of symphonic/psychedellic rock remembering GENESIS, VAN DER GRAAF and PINK FLOYD with an introduction and final theme with a clear KING CRIMSON influence .The second track "Our Quiet Footsteps" and this "cerimonial" heavy overture and main theme, recalling again KING CRIMSON (mainly) but at this time with GENTLE GIANT "hint", a very captivating track ! But the rest of album don't cause the same impression... Although the tracks 3, 4 , 5 and 6 aren't so bad, at the same time, in my point of view aren't to a pleasant audition. The two last tracks are both repetitive and boring ! Due this considerations and specially due the already mentioned quality of two initial tracks, my rate is 3 stars !!!
