The magic has gone ...

I rounded 2.5 stars on 3 for a very average album. What Threshold have to offer here, is experienced but relatively unimaginative. Anyone familiar with the evolution of the band and on the incredibly original, ingenious songs knows what she has achieved, can only partially take pleasure in latest work. A lack of memorable melodies is spreading. Of course: the album is not bad. But it can keep up at any time with the older releases. In addition, some harmonies sound easy to know there is a risk to copy itself. Earlier I liked almost all the tracks of the band, when a CD is newly published. Here I like more than half of them ...

For Threshold ratios goal barely reached. And even if "March of Progress" was great, so I miss the warmth in the voice of the old, now deceased singer Andrew McDermott.
