ANGELS CRY

1. Unfinished Allegro with the classic intro that makes your ears prick up, let's be wise; the intro that smells good of hard bands such as 2. Carry On comes next, prog metal, finally hard of the time with the freshness of André's typical voice and his synths, yes keyboards on it; prog metal exploded with DREAM THEATER and ANGRA rushed into the breach, with their well-tempered style... ah this fake violin and this vocal 3. Time suit, a cloying ballad with a soaked vein... again yes but we are on metal! In short, it rises suddenly with the demonstrative riff, the incisive guitars of Kiko and Rafael and the keyboards of André who does a lot on this album; easy to access title with a playful guitar solo that is a pleasure to listen to and the voice that will become one of the most beautiful in the style 4. Angels Cry arrives, drum roll and metallic fishing sprinkled with a hell of a solo from the start; Alex who hits as best he can on his drums and who will later go to RHAPSODY, for an even fruitier Hollywood metal genre; in short we are at the oriental break suddenly, finally maybe even South American; the variation goes on an apocalyptic thrash metal atmosphere with a sampled violin at the end that leaves you speechless; come on, we close our eyes and imagine RAINBOW with Ritchie who plagiarizes classical to the max. One of the album's standout tracks for its finely crafted composition 5. Stand Away drives the point home with a half-classical, half-symphonic allegro, or the grandiose association of a new musical genre, think of classical orchestration on a heavy background, the guaranteed high I've been dreaming of for so long; needless to say that ANGRA will become one of my flagship bands from this day on, thereby demonstrating that prog is much more beautiful when it's powerful; ah this flight of violins, ah this riff, ah ah ha 6. Never Understand follows, MAIDEN-style rhythm and heady folk pad; a dithyrambic intro climb then the most difficult composition to access, weaving between conventional hard soft and captivating rhythm; there is a bit of everything, the tempo slows down, the vocals are meant to be viscous, the latency of hard rock art before the fury of the guitar solo as energetic as possible

7. Wuthering Heights for the cover, yes there was Pat BENATAR with his sensual voice, here it is Andre who overwhelms us on this progressively intoxicating title, superb 8. Streets Of Tomorrow bursts in, syncopated riff on a pregnant bass: it's nervous, come on the B-side title, yes you need one per album; good but developing a predictable piece, I have to wait for the guitar solo to fly away; good given the debauchery of quality since the beginning, I had to find fault 9. Evil Warning ... yes later listening to RHAPODY I will understand ... cheerful melody, drums that clean the speakers, the keyboard in the background and the guitars that roar, we are well, well on hard prog finally ANGRA. It's strong, violent but catchy; halfway through the progressive break, yes in hard it can be very beautiful and much more structured, less evasive than in prog pure and simple; well the violin in frenetic allegro, the river melody that doesn't stop; bam the vocal gets involved, Hollywood had its roots here in my opinion; the pompous end to make you swoon 10. Lasting Child with its 2 parts and its classical piano intro, solemn, Andre for the cloying ballad, of all beauty; the composition to highlight his voice, to do something other than a slow hard, a grandiose nursery rhyme piece; the RONDO break all in sensitivity, calm, posed before leaving on the solemn anthem on a lunar decrescendo.
