5 stars This is the final part of the trilogy, which started almost 15 years ago. The music is a kind of "rock opera," with 12 characters played by vocalists. You can hear a tonal variety throughout the album, with females and males singing clean and death vocals. We have a combination of delicate and heavy parts punctuated with dramatic crescendos. Sometimes you can hear the influences of the melodic style of Neo-Prog bands; at other times, it's the influence of the prog metal bands with some well-placed heavy guitar riffs and guitar solos. It's like the band has created their patchwork of music in their own unique way because there are many shifts in tempo and style. The atmosphere of the album can go from ambient to spacey and prog-metal. There is also a lot of attention paid to the arrangements, the choice of instruments, and some narration to tell the story. The use of piano and saxophone in contrast with the guitars and synths comes back many times throughout the album. It's like the music won't stay in a specific style for too long. I feel that I was on a journey of great music, passing through different moods ("Seven") but always with enough intensity to keep my attention until I reach the door...
