VISIONARY

I admit, I don't get why everyone feels that this album is so low. I'm in even worse situation than poslednijat_colobar, because this is my first Eloy album, but maybe this fact helps. I can't compare, I can just enjoy this album as it is. Maybe compare it with other music I know, but that's all. This reminds me a lot another long-time runner, Kayak. I heard their latest (also from 2009) and there are few similarities. Beautiful music, little bit less prog (not much), symphonicity and should be (I don't know myself) different than their previous music. But this can't and will not prevent me from appreciating this music. Because when I compare it to other new bands, if I give some weight to fact that I like it (even not enjoy to maximum), close one eye, I'll dare to give this:

4(-), because that's what this deserves. Not entirely pure prog, but nice "almost-prog" music. Their most innovative flame should be out (I still don't know for sure, don't forget that I never heard their other music), but sparks remain. And after all, it's maybe blasphemy, but I think I can enjoy this kind of music more than their early years.
