3 stars 1. A night in Paris in triptych to open the ball, or how to start with a rock pop folk tune helping to drift through the streets and Parisian atmospheres... an omniscient piano which serves as an anchor for this peregrination in which I feel the sounds of SUPERTRAMP, the madness of QUEEN and the atmosphere of the Charisma rabbit; libertine bar atmosphere at one time for those who have already set foot there; a bit of madness from the soundtrack 'The phantom of the paradise' to explain the grandiloquent side of this extraordinary title, in short, a night in Paris is not trivial 2. I'm Not in Love and the progressive slap without knowing it; the sound, the choirs, the ethereal voices, the divine break with this 'big boys don't cry' which is whispered, in short it's romantic to the point of wanting to hug the first lady you meet, not easy nowadays; good 5* just for him 3. Blackmail arrives, funky tune of EW&F, nothing more to see, the magic is gone, perhaps the opportunity to accentuate the title from before and inscribe it on the rock music mountain... Good sound has aged, the guitar on a smoothy soft prog and the air never stops eyeing the ELO who have also done proggy without realizing it; reverberation a time before the guitar which squirts and gives spice, well because the Bee Gees are not too much for me 4. The Second Sitting for the Last Supper returns to an operetta soft rock air, de facto art-rock with a heavy slope and its electric solo which denotes pleasantly; the finale with the Jerry LEE-style piano is worth its weight in keys

5. Brand New Day piano arpeggio with a keyboard well held by Lol, yes it's not for fun here; the vocal provided by Kevin is worth its weight, bordering on an operetta, we're still on it; the break leans towards the MMEB for the keyboards, the voices are reminiscent of those of the QUEEN, we are in full musical art with some sound effects to make it look like 6. Flying Junk with the piano score and SUPERTRAMP again, ah the guitar which squirts yes a little of the BJH, ok the Barclay James Harvest with these acronyms we would get lost; the aerial guitar of the 60s as in the days of Anglican bandits on mopeds, a bygone era; the aerial finale, burst 7. Life Is a Minestrone follows, condensed from BEACH BOYS and BEATLES for a very 60s sound; yes 50 years of this album plus a decade, that's why, in short I wasn't born again; the ELOs come back to me on this piece, I also have the impression of hearing may day may day, it's the end of the beans 8. The Film of My Love and the Greek Wedding title? A musical cliché, a solo that flirts with 'Amically your' and you find yourself with a title still outside the system which in no way corresponds to the identity of said group 2 bonuses in 97 with the remaster version including a 'Good News' which immerses me again in the atmosphere of BJH, there it is no longer a coincidence.
