3 stars With some magical device, we've been transported to 70's. OK, fair enough, but it sounds like worse things from this era. It's not just that in 1971, this record would be revolution, there's more disadvantages than this. This music follow mistakes of its predecessor, it doesn't have enough power to shine the lights around the way. There's screaming, but there's not enough emotions in it. I'm not moved (strange, because I mostly am), I'm stone cold serious now and I shouldn't be. I should enjoy this music and enjoy it properly. It must be the singer, his vocals are dead. I don't want to offend him or the band more than is necessary, they are doing music, not me. But if I should be free to say my opinion, then this "Symphonic" album is symphonic just because it continues legacy of "The Brass Serpent" a little bit, adding also little bit new, but it's fiasco. Terrible results. Some synth experimental work in Weatherman that I haven't heard before, but nothing too.

Sad thing this album. I don't know whether they're trying or not, but this rating will be on the verge of good and bad,

3(-), no less.
