4 stars I also haven't seen "7 Samurai" yet (just Magnificent Seven, American remake), but I of course understand the story, how important this film is etc. However, I have to solve this album differently, treat this in a little bit weakened terms - I'm not sure I can process each track and rate it properly, so I'll deal just with its impact, how does it feel, what images it brings etc. It's good prog, ranging from 3-5 stars in general, but sheer length of these tracks prevents me from being proper in understanding it. Well, I had this problems with Spaghetti Epic' too, but I done it somehow. Maybe it doesn't matter, as this music is collection of various prog tunes, elements, really nothing concrete here. As you can see from tracklist, each song is divided into parts and that's not just scarecrow. Almost each part is like different song, however, linked together perfectly (you won't even notice it). "The Farmers" is a song I already know from "Selective Memory" by Tempano (2008).

4(-), not strong enough, not bad enough, more like four plus, but some parts distracts me.

Oh, I almost forgot, I can just recommend it.
