4 stars 1.Days on PINK FLOYD, NO-MAN, NO SOUND, on soft Mr BUNGLE, a weird intro that smells of experimentation 2.Regression that results from it, the Floydian air with the guitar and the keyboard, yes, the riff on a heavy tendency with the monolithic synth, it changes, the hard riff in break imposing the ambient, where are we going? bright bells in the distance, a zest of melancholy from Anathema, yes ANATHEMA first wave, well I ask myself it becomes interesting; a little of the river air of ORPHANED LAND seen recently, it calls out to me, the vocal screamed without going to the growl, it seduces me; the jazzy drift with the piano and the musical saw or the tawny owl in action, the riff that comes back, amazed by my deep limbic system 3.Herd arrives, continues to confuse with an alternative air weaving towards a progressive refrain, I look for PORCUPINE TREE and ANATHEMA yes between the two at their beginnings; a singular and unique sound that hurtles down the prog slope as if nothing had happened for this catchy melody 4.The Chaotic Frenzy of the Mind with the piano-acoustic guitar arpeggio, proven wandering ... A dull riff swells and brings the contained prog metal sound with the typical frame, memory of LIGHT DAMAGE for a time, the haunting guitar, the sampled choirs and the keyboard, velvety and sad at the same time, always on an electrified pad; go bass and guitar spleen on some vitaminized OPETH now, a zest of psyche. The vocal that drags, the airy pad, between the 70s and the 2030s for the sound; here we go on the progressive wanderings of OPETH again, it makes me want to write a review of it!

5. Descendants on a melancholic piece, a languid nursery rhyme that is easy to listen to, juggling on musical bliss and giving Sergio once again the opportunity to check his vocal presence between singing and haunting phrasing 6. Oblation continues in the same vein, the least of this album that is starting to lack a little consistency; as a concept album it would be better 7. Umbral cinematic psychedelic intro, progression on the redundant air, I persist on this album to listen to in one go and playing with targeted and desired repetitive atmospheres; we are getting closer to the sound of RIVERSIDE. The mid-course break with a jazzy-bluesy-rock rapprochement that PORCUPINE TREE created at the beginning, with the intoxicating and slightly hypnotic whirling voices; the flute brings back to the Opethian vintage with the Aldi Meolesque Spleen guitar, a joy this title 8.Ωmega crystalline intro of a 'Amicalement Votre', doubled by a solemn guitar arpeggio, here is an intro of the aerial BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST, well the mid-tempo ballad launches and comes to collide against the banks of progressive rock, the one that uses the reminiscences of yesteryear and incorporates them on this divine piece; the guitar solo Spleen just what it takes, the hit of Jose syncopated enough to make the ear prick up; the acoustic break wanders on this in-between before the heavy-neo-progressive variation of a new genre, between old and new, between memory and experience with again the languorous singing of Sergio which seduced me from this haunting turmoil; the finale with sax from the time of SUPERTRAMP, a little jazzy and the final arpeggio coming to close this intimate but touching album.
