│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In our never-ending search of unearthing good ║ │
│║ music no body knows how many worthless albums ║ │
│║ our ears have to endure. And compared to the ║ │
│║ brevity of life, the countless hours we spend in ║ │
│║ our search is just regrettable, but not if you ║ │
│║ discover an album like ôMidday Moonö. As you ║ │
│║ well know then itÆs worth all the pain that you ║ │
│║ take. It becomes your pearl in the oyster, the ║ │
│║ gold at the end of the rainbow. With pride and ║ │
│║ glory you feel like a fisherman that has been at ║ │
│║ the mercy of the waves for so long and is coming ║ │
│║ back from his long journey into the deep blue ║ │
│║ with his catch in his hand and a smile on his ║ │
│║ face. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This beautiful album that has been a frequent ║ │
│║ visitor to my CD player kicks off with ôRoyal ║ │
│║ Strangerö, which is one of the strongest tracks ║ │
│║ of the album and a great song to begin with. It ║ │
│║ starts with drums and bass that are immediately ║ │
│║ joined by keyboards setting the amazing ║ │
│║ atmosphere of the track that is lyrically ║ │
│║ telling a story of a man who leads a life of ║ │
│║ strings with no attachment. The next one is ║ │
│║ ôFalconeyeö which is another addictive and a ║ │
│║ truly magnificent track that attains remarkable ║ │
│║ heights of perfection. These first two tracks, ║ │
│║ which are alone enough to make you realize that ║ │
│║ you are in for something special, are only the ║ │
│║ prelude of greater glories to come. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With ôIn Angerö things falter a little and as ║ │
│║ you just start to wonder if it is yet another ║ │
│║ album with a couple of first good impression ║ │
│║ songs you are blessed with the title track ║ │
│║ ôMidday Moonö that dispels your worries. It is ║ │
│║ another brilliant song that takes the level ║ │
│║ higher. But wait, the best is yet to come. After ║ │
│║ probably the weakest track of the album ôLight ║ │
│║ ænÆ Smokeö, in which still some remarkable ║ │
│║ qualities reside, the instrumental track ║ │
│║ ôRaining Part 1ö grants us a respite before we ║ │
│║ once again soar to even higher heights with a ║ │
│║ viciously infective chorus that springs to mind. ║ │
│║ This one is called ôAlready Knownö. In my ║ │
│║ opinion it is a song that can easily eclipse the ║ │
│║ whole album. It is a song that will make me run ║ │
│║ out of superlatives so IÆll just let it go at ║ │
│║ that and only write the lines of one of the most ║ │
│║ beautiful choruses in metal : ôIÆm calling for ║ │
│║ the northern winds, IÆm calling for the rising ║ │
│║ sun, IÆm calling for moons, IÆm calling for ║ │
│║ stars, IÆm calling for youö. Looking at the ║ │
│║ lyrics you might think they lack the knock of ║ │
│║ writing good words but although being extremely ║ │
│║ simple, the way they are put into music is just ║ │
│║ as good as it gets. The following ôLost in the ║ │
│║ Thunderö has one of my favorite choruses that ║ │
│║ provide a perfect companionship while driving ║ │
│║ alone through the valleys of green and grey. ôà ║ │
│║ No one cares who you really areàö the chorus is ║ │
│║ just so deeply touching that the heartfelt ║ │
│║ sympathy of the singer fully penetrates within ║ │
│║ my very being. For me an artistic work is the ║ │
│║ one that takes me to a place that I can not go ║ │
│║ to on my own and this one is definitely one of ║ │
│║ those pieces of work. I jus love it. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With ôHackneyed Dreamö The things slow down for ║ │
│║ a while. The rest of the album doesnÆt match the ║ │
│║ before mentioned material, except for the bonus ║ │
│║ track ôBrontophobiaö, which has an haunting ║ │
│║ chorus that will stick in your mind for days, ║ │
│║ but is still good enough to leave you with an ║ │
│║ expression of a paramount desire for more. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Usually every album has a few songs in which the ║ │
│║ instruments play one tune the vocal sings ║ │
│║ another and all the while some things sound out ║ │
│║ of place. Call it filler or a failure; you know ║ │
│║ it just doesnÆt come out right. It is not very ║ │
│║ common to encounter an album that contains ║ │
│║ consistent material from beginning to end. ║ │
│║ Surprisingly this one is mostly consistent with ║ │
│║ very few rhymes without reason. It is more ║ │
│║ melodic than the works of many of their ║ │
│║ counterparts. There are no bad songs here, only ║ │
│║ some are better than the others. The songs vary ║ │
│║ in speed and intensity however, making the disc ║ │
│║ all the more interesting. The album as a whole, ║ │
│║ beginning with ôRoyal Strangerö ending with the ║ │
│║ bonus track ôBrontophobiaö and offering a lot of ║ │
│║ great moments in between, delivers grandiose ║ │
│║ power metal with several touches of early ║ │
│║ Chroming Rose and a little bit of latter ║ │
│║ Heavenly. But by no means has any plagiarism. No ║ │
│║ mistake about that. With this one you will ║ │
│║ definitely get more than you bargained for, for ║ │
│║ this is an album of an outstanding beauty ║ │
│║ standing with an ineffable loneliness in its own ║ │
│║ field against the wind and the rain, and album ║ │
│║ that can be found once in a blue moon. ║ │
