MELLODRAMATIC

The album didn't need a sticker ; before it's release, anyone knowed that Mattias Olsson, Anglagärd's drummer extraordinaire, was behind the producing desk for this album. The wait might have disappointed some people, but "Mellodramatic" is a worthy "retro prog" album, full of good intentions plus a very strong melodic feel. Listen to "King of the Skies" ; Deadwood Forest achieved a virtual encounter between Phil Collins and post-Roger Waters' Pink Floyd. The result is so convincing that it makes us wonder how the ones concerned never actually did it (as they are both driven by the same interest, and i'm not talking about artistic accomplishment here) ! Anyway, i think that if you're not that receptive to mellow songs, you should avoid this one.
