The sixth album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths, synth effects and vocals.
Some guests added woodwinds and vocals.
The band returned again after an eleven years long break.
I have reviewed their albums in the previous issues of this blog, see the logo of this blog for links to those editions. I have never really been a fan of their poppy progressive rock.
We get just over half an hour with music on this album. There is no surplus fat on this album, though.
The music is still poppy neo-prog with some mainstream rock thrown into the blend too.
The music is catchy with some Elton John and Muse influences. There is still some pretty complex music here. Some of the music is also vaudeville rock influenced. There is a large degree of circus has just arrived in the town feeling here.
The vocals is good and there are some good guitars here. The music is a bitt too much bubblegum teenybopper. Nevertheless, this is a pretty good album and one to check out together with their first five albums. This album is by no means their best album, though.
Check it out.
