BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS

I don't know what this is, and I'm sure neither do the band. Boring, overplayed, overdone, and now over and thank God for that. If you want to hear good prog from this extraordinary band listen to IMAGES AND WORDS. This is one very bad album from band that lost his inspiration some years ago. Now, it's time for them to let go and make place for younger and I'm afraid to say but BETTER bands that have ambition and know how. I'm not sure what is worst: 4 last albums or the cover stuff (Metallica, Floyd, Crimson ( I haven't heard their version of LARK II, but I laugh forward for the idea :) ), Queen, Rainbow).

This is a definitive 2 as there are several good (but nothing more) moments on the album.

Best song: The Count of Tuscany
