EVERSHIP: Evership
The debut album of the American band
Evership was one of the greatest surprises of 2016 for me. I had never heard of
this band before, and this album felt like an epiphany to me. Where to begin?
Excellent musicianship, very technical - and yet listener friendly -
compositions, excellent vocals, and a couple of magnificent epics. Well, what
else can you ask for?
This is how the modern Progressive Rock
should sound like!

I really hope that this was not a shooting star, and
Evership will continue recording albums of such high standards.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
In case you are interested, here’s the review I wrote about this album some time ago: https://gfreedomathina.blogspot.gr/2016/12/evership-evership-2016.html
I learned about this album a few weeks before its
original release. I have to admit that I was kind of sceptical about it. A
triple concept album? That sounded like a very ambitious project to my ears.
And it was actually! But when I listened to it, I was blown away! It’s not an
easy album, it needs a few listens before you are completely ready to “enter”
the fantastic world Gandalf’s Fist created. But when you
do, everything sounds wonderful!
I respect Neal Morse as a musician and a composer, but
I can’t say that I like his music in most occasions. So, when this album was
released, near the end of 2016, I didn’t pay much attention. But after reading
so many great reviews about it, I decided to give it a shot. Well, The Similitude of a Dream is one of the best albums of 2016 without any doubt! This
time Mr. Morse and his band created something really wonderful!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

GANDALF’S FIST: The Clockwork Fable
I learned about this album a few weeks before its
original release. I have to admit that I was kind of sceptical about it. A
triple concept album? That sounded like a very ambitious project to my ears.
And it was actually! But when I listened to it, I was blown away! It’s not an
easy album, it needs a few listens before you are completely ready to “enter”
the fantastic world Gandalf’s Fist created. But when you
do, everything sounds wonderful!
I loved the narration parts between the songs,
I loved how the story evolves with each passing song, I loved the beautiful
melodies and the loud, powerful parts, and I have only good things to say about
the package and the fantastic artwork! The album comes in a wonderful triple
digi-pack box, with a very detailed booklet, that explains everything the
listener need to know about the subterranean city of Cogtopolis and its
inhabitants. Get set, your journey is about to begin!
