Numero 2

For the piece of silver; we have arrived at the number two spot and have to conclude that even though I was surprised at this in the beginning; it is well deserving. This fourth official studiopiece of this foursome is a bit more wider and less thunderous than the albums that came before. More direct vocal lines; less screams and even harmonizing. Hints of experimental instrumentation in the use of xylophones; Hammonds and basssynths. The entire feel of the album is that of a rockopera and the background for this albums suggests just that. So the most consistent part of the band is the fact that they seem to be getting better and better with each album they deliver. Grand! Great! Glorious! A beast of an album!
