The fifth album from this band from Spain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
A dozen of guests added percussion, guitars, strings and woodwinds.
Their third album Cyclothymia from 2019 was a great album. Their first two album were good too. Their fourth album was a re-recording of some old songs with new arrangements and mixes. The Outsider is therefore in reality their fourth album. Nitpicking, yes....
The Outsider is an almost two hours long album, two cds long. It is a concept album too.
The music is neo-prog in the Dutch and British tradition.
The sound and music are melodic, light and poppy. The female vocals are in the front of the mix and they are good.
The quality is a bit up and down. From decent to very good. The band has taken a step in the wrong direction on this album as this album is not as good as Cyclothymia. That said, this is still a good album which will please the neo-prog fans.
