AJA

When i discovered Aja i was surprised because i thought the sound quality was impeccable and the musicianship was... well, perfect. A 70's album could not sound like this if you asked me. Music wise, i feel there's a lack of energy. Not speed, energy. The arrangements are not interesting enough for my taste. Even though the compositions are excellent, not a single track in this record modifies me. I want to be transported with music and this kind of soft jazz rock does'n sound like something to listen to with your eyes closed. It's too static. Maybe i'm an intensity addict, i don't know, but in my opinion this is an overrrated album. The quality is there. The excitement is missing. Overall: good album. If you enjoy preciseness and perfection, get this album. If you prefer action -maybe with compositional and/or technical mistakes-, this is not a necessary album.
