THE SEA WITHIN

Just look at this list of musicians playing on this project. Really amazing... but... I really wanted to hear something new, something that would start my thinking that a great group of rock musicians can make an album that will stay in my memory and make me listen again without any subjective prejudices. I know, those people are really cool and there are very good albums on the scene that they played on. I will mention only some of the artists and albums. Roine Stolt (Transatlantic, The Flower Kings) (Whirlwind) is an example of a genius album. A conceptual story. Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation) (Scarsick) is an example of how to make a good rock-heavy prog album. Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Steven Wilson and many others...) great session drummer, he even took part in the audition for Dream Theater. Casey McPherson (Flying Colors) is an excellent singer and guitarist whose voice reminds a lot of a band that I personally don't like to listen to - COLDPLAY. If you mix The Flower Kings, Pain Of Salvation, and jazz rock fusion drumming, you will get an album like this which is neither prog rock nor eclectic rock, nor something from experimental side of composing that will sound catchy. When I have high expectations from an album, I know for sure that something will not be right. I wanted to be catchy, i really do. The album has many faces and reminds of everything from today's prog scene and at the same time it is none of those things.I will have to be strict and characterize the album as a pretentious failure of genius musicians. 2/5
