FANTASMA

Well it's a remarkable discontinuous album of "Pomp-Rock", with some surprising elements of progressive and metal progressive rock, but also a perfect production and the recording as well. In fact there are convincing tunes with a certain impact, except on some tepid melodic lines, regarding for example the first track (however the instrumental first section, before the guitar riff, is memorable)and other less memorable songs; nevertheless you find some fine songs within, as those ones inside the important suite "Fantasma", whose best and preferred tracks are "The Real Escape", characterized by a splendid romantic interlude with a piano and a fine violin as well, and the following epic awesome track "Whatever It Takes", which is characterized instead by a powerful guitar and a stunning crescendo too, which alone makes this album worth checking out!!
