Label : Victor ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Description : ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ http://www.myspace.com/conceptionmusic ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ When I think about ôFlowö words like brilliance, ║ │ │║ quality, superiority and value instantly come to ║ │ │║ my mind. LetÆs see whyà ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ To begin with, ôFlowö finds ôConceptionö moving ║ │ │║ away from their earlier power/prog style, most ║ │ │║ evident in their second album, ôParallel Mindsö. ║ │ │║ Hence, ôConceptionÆsö fourth full-length attempt ║ │ │║ does not go beyond the "strict" progressive ║ │ │║ metal boundaries. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Musically the album is very close to ║ │ │║ "QueensrycheÆs" progressive metal style found in ║ │ │║ ôOperation Mindcrimeö. This means that the band ║ │ │║ although comprised by technically proficient ║ │ │║ members, writes uncomplicated patterns which are ║ │ │║ easily followed by the listener. All the songs ║ │ │║ are between 3 to 5 minutes long. The album has ║ │ │║ an amazing flow from the first track to the ║ │ │║ last. Once you hear it you will certainly want ║ │ │║ more and more. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The vocals are grandiose. They are easily the ║ │ │║ one element which transcends the entire album in ║ │ │║ the realm of brilliance. Although Khan does not ║ │ │║ go to extreme heights as in previous ║ │ │║ reconrdings, the melodic lines of the vocals are ║ │ │║ still magnificent and the listener will ║ │ │║ definitely get carried away by them. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The guitars stay on melodic lines throughout the ║ │ │║ record with two main exceptions in tracks ôA ║ │ │║ Virtual Lovestoryö and ôWould It Be the Sameö, ║ │ │║ where a ôPanteraö feeling can be found in ║ │ │║ certain riffs. Also, the solos greatly ║ │ │║ contribute to this astonishing feeling that ║ │ │║ surrounds the entire album and speak straight to ║ │ │║ the listenerÆs heart with their pleasant ║ │ │║ melodies and beautiful harmonies. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The rhythm section is excellent. The bass has ║ │ │║ more than simply a presence in the album since ║ │ │║ on some occasions it sounds louder in the mix ║ │ │║ than the guitar. The drums stick to easily ║ │ │║ followed patterns but they sound damn good in ║ │ │║ combination to the low end frequency! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The keyboards finally, are noticeable as they ║ │ │║ play a key role in some of the songs here. They ║ │ │║ do manage to add another harmonious layer to the ║ │ │║ already fantastic compositions. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If I had to pick the best moments in this ║ │ │║ excellent album, I would say tracks, ║ │ │║ ôGethsemaneö, ôAngelö, ôFlowö, ôCryö, ôHold onö, ║ │ │║ ôCardinal Sinö and ôWould it be the sameöà or ║ │ │║ any other track in other words since I have ║ │ │║ already mentioned almost all songs. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ This album is highly recommended to fans of ║ │ │║ progressive metal.
