добавлю, что по ходу альбома несомненны отсылки от традиционных(иногда довольно хитовых) симфо метальных экзерсисов к подобному диабло свинг окестра (сразу оговорюсь что чуть менее намешано и вычурно театрально стебно)-наличие буги,джаза, блюзов, гармошек,пианинки, оператик элементов-разнообразных с безуминкой вокалов, с основным (иногда весьма раскрепощенным) женским...
к сожалению (на мой вкус) наличие на альбоме половины трэков в балладном ключе, сильно затушевали эту безуминку-не хватило смелости, пороху, или это такой задуманный ход?(смотрим название коллектива)
будем смотреть дальше-вдруг выйдет новый альбом...
одна из рецензий:
“Portugal’s TRAGIC COMIC welcomes us to their premiere show, since this is their debut - and what an ambitious one, I might say!”
“TRAGIC COMIC s music is full of easy-on-the-ear melodies and memorable choruses, made even more clean-cut-sounding by the AOR-tinged, neatly combined vocal styles of their two lead singers, Né and Diana. Their timbres are a match, and the duet parts of the songs come across as real highlights…”
“The keyboard-heavy ROYAL HUNT-ish sound mix does wonders to reinforce that ever-apparent sense of melodicism, as depicted in the addictive soft rocker "Night Tale", colorful, adventurous spirit to shine brighter and livelier (namely "Dementia", or the folk-ish, energetic, accordion(?)-flourished opener "Journey Into The Unknown"). The show is ultimately stolen by "The Dream Keepers", an evocative, dark circus of a tune, complete with an out-of-the-blue, wacko use of a dance-club beat!”
“All in all, fans of AOR influenced theatrical heavy rock in the vein of SHADOW GALLERY s eponymous album will probably find themselves really enjoying this release’s well-written and creatively orchestrated music.”
“Classification: ABOVE THE AVERAGE – 75%”
