What happened to Darediablo…where is the edge? Not that this is a bad record at all, I enjoyed most of it, but the metal-oriented rock that they showed in their earlier releases has been contorted into something much more prog-rock-like. They cranked their signature organ sound way up on this one, and the results sound like a long-haired kid born of Uriah Heap and Procol Harum and a big brother named Rush. If you’re already a fan, approach with caution – maybe it’s just me but the difference in sound is quite surprising. As for anyone else, if you seek instrumental prog-rock that is light on the wankery and heavy on the keys, you’ve come to the right place.
