RISE

This is a very good release, maybe not essential, but I like the spirit it's leaving on me after each listen - given by fun, good execution, with instrumental highlights on clean guitars and bass. Remind me somehow the Beardfish (namely "Sleeping in Traffic part 2"). Best Moments are the opener, the nice ballad "Beyond this masquerade" and the lovely long "Mimosa". On second part there is this funny opus (like previously reviewed) that maybe is missing a highly musical standout, but in general has a lot of very good moments. Again, I like it and returning listens demonstrates it, but I wouldn't praise it a masterpiece. 3,5 stars!
