a genuine development and enrichment

Aquarius was an overachiever for me because I had heard such a thing neither expected nor advance. Many breaks that completely previously unknown paths (also from DT) have left, coupled with incredibly good melodies. Visions was good, but has already had almost more catchiness and not leave the trodden paths in the first album. The surprising thing was missing but that I associate with modern prog (I like Neal Morse and his side projects, the new Spock's Beard, Steven Wilson and so, but this is really something else). And this album: so happy - and not disappointed. Yes, you actually need a couple of runs. So twisted and leaving just the date chosen paths are the pieces that I would describe as a milestone of modern art of composition. It has a few well-known vocal and instrumental harmonies also no longer so much to do except for the debut. But that's what makes the album so exciting. Rarely have I experienced pieces, breathe so much art, without thereby structure, harmony and statement were lost, or the art of love itself, which no longer understands, degenerates. It is a stunning piece of modern composition assets, still has places to do with Metal (okay, "Falling Back to Earth" is really quite a Metal Hammer ... but many other metal-passages remain not hang because the stylistic diversity is so vast) and can really view no longer forced into templates. This is really something new. And it's fun. One must, however, in peace and not hear the way (if that ever went in the other albums).
I now have so much "art" in the mouth ... music but also has a lot, especially with music and harmonies to do. Even this is not neglected in "The Mountain". But the opener leaves a rearing the Armhärchen. Fantastic harmonies, great text in its simplicity and a fabulously beguiling vocal presentation.
Those who can not engage in it, will probably be disappointed. I am completely thrilled and can also detect any parallels to DT.
