Good concept album with less weakness ...

Before I talk about this album, I must start by saying that Vanden Plas mean new territory for me. So I can not draw any comparisons to earlier works and I will leave out purely about "Chronicles of the Immortals -Netherworld".
But now to the disk available to me: the music I would roughly with "Dream Theater meets Marillion (the early)" describe because I felt reminded of these two bands at once. The calmer parts of "Fish and Co.", the more violent as something like "Dream Theater". Both bands I had until now always first listen to an album in order to assess it properly. With Vanden Plas I was actually immediately clear what the album can. These are a great concept album that knows how to convince as a complete work. It is set up a really great atmosphere, which is created between dreamy piano passages and violent guitar Attaken. The little weakness in my opinion is the lack of "big tunes" (be it in the instruments or in singing), the coming back of my two bands comparison.
Conclusion: If you like good prog, can safely access here. Those like me who at Prog - Bands "big tunes" (Sorry, but I do not know how I could asdrücken it differently) does not want to miss, but should take one or another audition.
