This cd has been nearly on constant rerun on my boombox for a couple of days now. Not to much avail I'm afraid. I can't precisely put my finger on it, but the progressive style Haldolium is dwelling in just doesn't do it for me. I miss some, no, A LOT more stand-out peaks. This album doesn't fail miserably in any sense, but just tends to blend with the wall paper, and not a single tune here sets fire to the old bones. Even if opener The Last Dance and Vanity has some groovy intervals, Haldolium is somehow not able to capture my curiosity for very long.
They need credit though for their attempt at incorporating vox. Even if I don't think they succeed with bravour, this for sure must be a path we will see much more explored down the road. Maybe they would do better with a more interesting lead vocal?
