HINTERLAND

It is very good to see a new band with enough courage to create a album which could be easily being recorded in the middle of the seventies. It is a great risk, because it may sound dated , it is going to be compared with albums that is considered as classics in the progressive work. Wobbler did not worry to add something new to symphonic prog in 2005 in order to conquer their space; they only took as their job to create good music. And they got it !!

We have here three songs, one epic with 27 minutes and two more rounding half that long. I have already listened to it several times, and still find beautiful passages to admire. This album is still growing on me, mainly the two last songs, because the listening of the title track request so much attention and gives back too much satisfaction that a give the other two until now not the same amount of energy.

It is good to make two related review, Bacamarte is a band for me that is a lot remembered by Wobbler. So I increased the natural four star of Hinterland to five, because to me it is clearly better than a top 100 Progressive rock album. Also this is one of the reasons I changed Depois do Fim natural four stars to three?
