16th October, 2021: Green Carnation - A Blessing in Disguise (progressive rock/metal, 2003)

I actually got into this one before Light of Day, Day of Darkness, which perhaps is why I still enjoy it quite a lot and don't unfairly compare apples with oranges. This doesn't even attempt to follow-up that album in a similar vein, and it's all the better for it. No epics here at all, as the band focus on concise and vocal-oriented songs, and generally they succeed. There are parts of this album that veer into some odd post-grunge/alt-metal vibes that would plague its successor, but for the vast majority of its run this is melodic, catchy, well performed and dynamic progressive metal. There are even some sections, such as the second half of "Lullaby in Winter" that could be up there with the band's best ever work.

7.8 (11th listen)
