NOSTIMON HEMAR

I don't understand why this album is so high rated and why this band changed their old style becoming heavier almost metal. The metal sound is present in too much songs and in my opinion this ruin the catchy melodies you was used to listen in their previus album, although this makes the sound much modern than before. Yes there are some stunning melodies like in "Oenops Pontos", Calypso and the strength "Lotus Eaters", with a beautiful keyboard solos at the end of the track. The other tracks are well structured with strong solos of guitar and keyboards, and mellow moments at centre of the composition. The production here is excellent, with brilliant arrangement and all the instruments are well calibrated, that's a good improvement compared to their previous works. 3 stars
