Les débuts folklo-symphoniques sont bien loins ...
D'album en album la batterie se fait un peu plus lourde et répétitive, remplaçant l'inspiration qui s'essoufle. On frise parfois le hard rock.
"Coming to..." a des accents d'Alphaville (non pas que ce soit d'ailleurs complètement désagréable).
Ne reste qu'un accent floydien tenace (notamment dans l'utilisation des nappes d'orgue), en moins bon.
Seuls "Carpe Diem", "Storms Over Still Water" et "Tomorrow", les trois derniers titres, sortent du marasme.
C'est trop peu pour sauver l'album.
