NEMO - Barbares

The new Nemo is a great Nemo !! With Barbares, Nemo gives us a masterpiece of progressive rock, a little bit 'metal', a little bit 'neo', but always with a great melodic feeling. The compositions aren't just an assortment of solos slapped together, they flow smoothly in and out, their fine performances captured in impressive clarity. The Barbares track is one of the best progressive composition that I have ever heard. Not all of the seven parts Barbares is divided into are essential to the song working and some of them wouldn’t really be missing, but all of that cannot distract from that fact that there is a bunch of highly talented musicians operating and that they obviously have a lot of fun doing so. Every one of the songs is filled with plenty of ideas, details and lots of enthusiasm. And in that it is reminiscent of the album as a whole: in no way a milestone of its genre, but definitely great enough to be unhesitatingly recommended to everyone who likes prog rock.
