Description/Reviews:
The band may distance themselves from myths they tend to shape on their albums by letting “It’s Only Make Believin'” begin this one with a perfect instance of cosmic hard rock and marry multifaceted ivories assault, a mélange of Moog and Hammond, to Simone Rubinato’s mighty bass rumble before Riccardo Ruggeri’s vocals creep into the aural picture to set the scene for a haunting, if half-hysterical, drama which will kick in when chorale harmonies of a piano-propelled “Nirvana” are unraveled to a great polyphonic effect. Yet while instrumental funfair “Carousel” offers an orchestral swirl, frisky and solemn in equal measure, “Into The Kama” is a tremulous serenade that must melt the hardest of hearts – and win it once the piece’s Eastern-flavored coda has elevated the spirit of love to the heavenly realm, only for the heavy groove of “Bitches” to break the spell and drench the cut’s riff in strings.Read the full review at dmme.net
