at a crossroads

one could most likely designate the third album. Amaranthe have created with their debut a very own sound - the sound simply fresh and different.
Nexus could then no longer quite as convincing, it seemed at times very "constructed" and that's what sets here in my opinion, unfortunately continue. Although the band has become technically better - this improvement also brings a fairly sterile album with him, in which I have always felt for me that the songs were put together on the basis of a "ingredients choice" and these ingredients too has the Nexus also direction move expiry date.

The band ventured little, only individual Ausflügge towards Pop / Electro / Techno (?) Can be heard at times.
Whether this is the right direction for future albums? Here the opinions are surely differ - for me that's the wrong way and therefore I also like the third album the least. Solid produced, standardized songs, but just to stay with ingredients and cooking, without the right seasoning and love cooking.
