По первому прослушиванию могу с уверенностью сказать, что получился крепкий такой, добротный, цельный альбом, без чудес импровизации и заумностей, но истинно мелодик-проговый.

Ещё один вторичный... нет, даже третичный и ещё Б-г весь какой прогрессив - переигрывание клише уже более чем тридцатилетней давности (если считать не от непосредственного появления подобных используемым здесь приёмов, а от их превращения в клише). Кроме приятных мотивов, качественной инструментальной игры да хорошего звука, что сейчас свойственно любому мало-мальски толковому альбому в подобном жанре, выделить и нечего. Своих идей - ноль.
