SOUNDS THAT CAN'T BE MADE

All the albums after MARBLES I considered to be quite disappointing, so I didn't expect too much from the new album. After several listenings, however, I think that the album is quite an inmprovement to the former CDs. Gaza is musically interesting, but in my opinion it lacks coherence. There are many beautiful parts, but they don't really fit together. Most of the other songs work better. The other longtracks Sky above the rain and Montreal work better. Power is with its nice melody the best of the shorter tracks. All in all the album isn't a real masterpiece and you shouldn't expecet anything really new, but it contains some rather strong songs, so I am really looking forward to the tour!
