Review by A Crimson Mellotron
PROG REVIEWER

'True Live Crime' is a 2024 live album by acclaimed art rock collective RPWL, capturing one of the band's shows at The Poppodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands, one of the iconic venues of several signature progressive rock live albums, and this release by the German group is no exception, featuring the five band members and the two female backing vocalists as well as an enthused audience of dedicated fans engulfed in the great atmosphere of the show. Since this live recording is from a tour supporting RPWL's 2023 studio album 'Crime Scene', the album gets played is its entirety as the band deliver an exhilarating performance of an otherwise excellent offering, bringing their morbidly brilliant work to life in a beautiful way. Each instrument is clearly discernible in the mix, while the vocals sound perfect all throughout, giving this album a lively and organic quality.

The setlist features six more tracks from all over the band's catalogue as the overwhelming performance continues, with great tracks like 'Unchain the Earth', 'The Shadow', or the fabulous album closer 'Roses', arguably the band's hit song. The entire performance is impressive, and this live album captures a seasoned band at its prime, playing some of their best material. As far as I'm concerned, this is the perfect representation of RPWL, both in terms of the depth and scope of their music, and their dedication to the excellent live performance, all topped by the superb quality of the recording, just a joy to hear.
