2 stars Daal knows how to create music. Their instrumentation is top notch. I can imagine that people have an great time listening to Daedelus.

But I miss a couple of things: - I miss originality. This is an album that walks the beaten track. No song does sound as if we hear something new. - I miss a certain spirit. It sounds a bit flat to me. They create nice-sounding music, great melodies and pleasant solos. But there's no grit. Not enough soul for my taste.

A lack of originality can be mended by some grit. A lack of grit can be fully compensated with originality. But if both are lacking, listening becomes a chore for me.

I'm certain there's a public for this music. But as a prog fan who's always looking for new angles, this is not for me.

Every record I review is rated based upon the same standards. Regardless if it is deemed a classic of the golden age or something completely new. This is why I rate this 2 stars. For fans only.
