So this is the album everyone's been talking so much these days (including me). The band that was suggested 4 times over the course of 10 weeks (unusual thing here). The anticipated one.

All that you would like to hear from this (let's call it Eclectic / Symphonic / Crossover) band is here, even Beardfish like intro (first part of Wait For Me with very complex building of song structure (solid like catherdral for example, to use builder metaphore). Also Genesis like few second long parts (keyboards ones, guess which ones they are)

But honestly, vocals are quite faint. Michael is right, there should be improvement if this band reaches higher. Biography states that this band (and its sole album so far) combines Prog Rock with "melodic pop", but I failed to see/hear it here.

4(+), if somebody wants to give more, feel free to do so. I'll pass this time.

Very strong album and one of the better releases this year. From reasons unknown to me (as well), I'll reserve 5 star rating for other projects. Complex and mature debut, yeah. But not the best for me.
