PRÉLUDE À LA RUINE

Nemo is very exciting band for me, because I think they haven't any weak album. And Prélude À La Ruine is not an exception from this good rule. Of course, the musical mature is at lower level here and I can't regard this album like its successors, but the good tunes are at this album, too! There aren't any weak songs here and all tracks are (traditionally for Nemo) fresh ideas with mixture between jazz fusion, prog metal, symphonic prog and heavy prog, underlined with extreme tempo shiftings.

I've already spoken about the flaws of the album; and now I shall develop this thoughts better. The musicianship is not so perfect, the vocals are little unconvincing and uncertain. The ideas have been developed in a hurry. They are rushed through and this reveals inexperience all around this full of ideas album. It is still an album recommended for all of serious eclectic listeners! 3.5 stars!
