| Still
trying to search the right dimension |
This cd is the new
creature of Jani Lehtosaari ex Impaled Nazarene member. An
album presented like the new dimension of Dark rock or Melancholic Doom...but
in my opinion this album is a mediocre example or tentative to create
something original trying to get an old fashion connected to dark, or
something similar to it!....There's a touch of Doors in the vocal
inspiration, and old Pop- Prog in the sound arrangement.
Unfortunately the band have to
improve under many aspects and this album is just a point of
start.....On the whole I save few good ideas( only the ideas.....) that
seems to be inspired...but the structures of the songs are
not the answer to my expectations! There are many
aspects to improve; First of all the singer!!!! Vocals
are very monotonous, and his voice doesn't get a particular charm
and the tentative to show a deep voice in according with the style,
gets unsuccessful! Most songs are boring because of the
monotonous structures, even if I underline a
good work made by the keyboard that has realized good arrangements
, as well as I appreciate the idea to realize a sound of evident
70's style, though it needs to be enhanced.
Many influences from 70's Dark
but also that certain kind of 70's Prog...but we're very far from the
class of bands like Joy Division of Nick Cave.
Even if there are many influences from these hystoric
artists....PLAN E are still trying to search the right dimension,
and this album fails under compositive aspect.!!!!
Too much monotony and confused ideas. As I said
before, there are few good episodes like " Shadow
in the Dark" that reminds of 70's Dark with a touch of
Doors, but also very unsuccessful songs like" The
Blue House" to which I'm not able to
listen entirely... and not only to it....
I look forward to the next release!
