THE RAINMAKER (LIMITED EDITION)

What's all the fuss about it?!? Sorry but the inspiration demonstrated in other circumstances by Roine Stolte-the leading composer of the band- seems a bit lost in comparison to other remarkable works such as "Retropolis"...first of all They start using such common places already listened into this kind of prog metal, by alternating them with riffs at the Hammond organ, becoming tiring at the end!! Secondly there are also interesting breaks through-as usual- but there's no easy way out, because the ideas are not so fresh here!!Anyway the impact is good in some circumstances, but as it often happens when They try to develop a concept, They become prolix...to me it's not the first place to start with their music, but if you're still collecting their discography, this album could represent a diverse chapter of their career.
