Of a Might Divine 5. Gavotta in Si-Minore 6. Herr Mannelig 7. The Observer 8. Eppur Si Muove 9. Herr Mannelig short version Total Time In this production, the formula is repeated around a conceptual opus about Galileo Galilei, but -this time- there are some changes that put the stuff far away from the magnificent previous albums. Instrumental parts in "Eppur Si Muove" -medieval and baroque tunes- are plenty of romantic beauty and extremely well executed, but voices have a predominant role, singing in German, Latin, Italian and English.
Beside the growlings, even the female voice sounds shrill. A progressive ear can enjoy arrangements, instrumentation, variety and melodies, but vocal excesses a lot produce an instant "pain".
BTW, heavy metal fans will find I guess too classical and soft the instrumental parts So, which was the target? I'm not a metal or heavy music fan, but when I discovered this band some months ago, I was really impressed about its albums, specially trough the beautiful and delicated music there were growlings, but just a little bit. Well, now I feel myself disappointed, essentially because HAGGARD is a fantastic musicians group able to make wonderful music that, this time, chose to demonize something that could be a majestic opus.
Actually I don't see any reason to give this work an inferior rating than their first two full-length ones though one might blame them for some stagnancy in their style. But on the other hand they became even better, both in playing skills of the metal section and in having tighter compositions. Nonetheless I'd like to emphasize that this is not essential Prog in a general and conventional way but honestly I'm not aware of any other band doing such an unique combination in a better way than Haggard does.
And finally I'd like to mention that I bought this CD soon after it came out and it still appeals to me nowadays which isn't the case with CD's from other bands, i. Nightwish or Rhapsody I bought at the same time. I think that's a good prove, that Haggard's music passes the test of time.
The originality of their vocals was the combination of pure and delicate female vocals backed up with discrete growling. On this album, you'll have to switch the characteristics but it was already the case on their second opus. Still, there are notable exceptions on this work hopefully.
