SNOW

Ok, this album doesn't really deserve a 5 star rating, but it surely deserves great attention. I would give it 4.25, and seeing that the actual score is around 4, I gave it 5 stars. Sorry for messing with the system...It's NOT a masterpiece.

About the album... some real progressive beauties in there, but a lot of weak tracks also. If you're looking for a great concept album, well this isn't it!! I just find the concept of snow personalised as a boy real boring, and what Morse tried to drain out of this idea really didn't get to me... Still, music wise, this double has some excellent tracks, specially on the first CD, the overture is amazing, and the whole CD's got a smooth 'homogeneous' taste, that makes you listen to it from A to Z. Second CD is more of a track by track listen, with some nice riffs, but a lot of weak moments. I would say, the total time could have been well reduced, a double album wasn't really necessary here.

Still worth a buy, Spock's Classic.

In general, nice orchestrations, some nice lyrics
