Second album from brazilian metallers Angra, and the thing they do is progressive metal,
perhaps even progressive POWER metal I dunno. And what is that then. Well put it this way:
regular melodic metal, but with a lot of different influences for example acoustic or piano
passages here and there. Very Dream Theater inspired stuff I can tell ya.
The singer Andre Matos has this really great voice, clean all the way (of course), other
singers in this genre tend to go too high sometimes but Matos doesn't. Anyway it's great great
great. Also great lyrics, and for the guitar solos... these guys are really talented guitarists, remember that.
Not one bad second on this album so it easily picks the 5 stars.
