Anima Mundi

Symphonic Prog

3.89 | 111 ratings

Anima Mundi is the cream of the crop when it comes to symphonic prog. Their last 3 albums have all garnered 5 stars from me. This album will, however, break the streak.

In fact the only way one would know this is Anima Mundi is by looking at the disc. Firstly because there is another new lead singer, their fourth in the last 4 albums. But mostly because the style of this album has taken quite a turn away from the band's prior symph style. Not to say this album does not provide some great symphonic moments- it does. But for the most part, this album is more a mix of spacey/psychedelic and jazzy prog.

So I would rate this album 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4, simply because of the band's continued superb musicianship and production. As a footnote, I think the new lead vocalist is quite good, in fact better than his 2 predecessors. But still, with my expectations so high for this release, I can only think of it as a slight disappointment.
