| I did not like this disc. I just listened to some samples and went on with my shopping. For some reason, this disc was ordered and I sent it back. |

Pallas - Reunites After A Decade Away
Submitted on: 2007-12-02 |
|
| After some limited success in the early 80's Pallas went on hiatus for more than a decade. In 1998 the band re-formed with new vocalist and front man Alan Reed and the modern day version of Pallas was introduced with this album. This is a good, but not great Pallas album in my opinion. Reed is a very good vocalist and fits in well with the rest of the band. The music would probably be classified as neo-prog with songs mostly on the shorter side, with quite a pop nod to most of it. There is some very nice guitar work to be found here and they keys are all over the place. The lyrics get a bit weighty tackling social and political themes at times. Highlights include "Insomniac", "Fragments Of The Sun", "Beat The Drum", and "Ghosts". Overall this is a very nice reunion album from Pallas, although I think they would get better with later releases. |

This cd is too poppy. It has a few good songs. They are like Yes in some cd's they tried to go progressive but wanted a hit so made mediocre songs and as a result got a mediocre following. The
alalysis is: If they were progressive thay shouldn't have sold-out like Genesis. That is really pathetic to sell out some thing that you claim you are a part of. It's like an American clinging to Dictatorship, it doesn't fit. Poor cd for great musicians, too bad Neo Ran, this is what I really feel. |

GREAT WORK!!!!!

| Maybe not as strong an effort as some of their other releases but still great. Insomniac is an excellent prog rocker. Fragments of the Sun is a beautiful composition. Great music, good singing make this a cd to enjoy. |

 Softeness inside
Submitted on: 2003-03-08 |

| Imagine Vangelis with lyrics including progressive and metal elements. What a wonderful mixture giving an atmospheric sound. Softeness of the singing really attracted me on this album, it is so controlled (voice is a criss-cross of Mark Hollis and Demis Roussos almost). Can't decide which is my favorite song. Is it "Fragment of the sun", "Beat the drum","all or nothing","hide and seek","spirits" or "ghosts"? I'll leave it to my mood of the day. Excellent purchase. |
