FULL SCALE

4,5 stars !!! STRANGEFISH is a band which I lament their absence after 2 brilliant albums (his second and last album, until now, was release 8 years ago) ! This "Full Scale" is really full... full of different styles hard/heavy/symphonic and more... plenty complex, with lots o riffs in the hard and heavy moments ... very enchant guitar melodies insinuating symphonic prog. They produces a sound influenced by so conflicting styles, bringing to me reminiscences of DEEP PURPLE, YES, GENESIS, ECHOLYN ! Is enough to understand how they walks between so different styles listen track 4 "Take A Holiday"... their main theme recalls Deep Purple but in the middle section ( about 2 min ) a calypso or merengue theme make a break in the frenetic rhythm. The album is very close to perfection and , only by make mention my favorite tracks are: track 1 "Shifting Sands And Turning Tides" , track 3 " Listening To Ghosts " and track 5 "At First Sight"! My rate is 4 stars !!!
