A great album! And the worthy successor of "The cross and the crucible". "The dreams of men" should not disappoint the experts of this band with a rather light discography compared to its seniority (4 albums in 25 years of career) and possibly even make them gain new followers.
Pallas has often been classified in the neo-progressive movement of the 80's which saw its birth. However, since the previous album, the band has really diversified its music, so much so that we can also talk about symphonic rock and metal to describe the style of today's Pallas. Some examples? The classical introduction of "The bringer of men", the rhythmic power of "Mr Wolfe", the Celtic atmosphere of "Ghostdancers" which ends up with an Indian song or the lyrical and beautiful final of "The last angel"... In short, if we had to find a band to compare, it would be more Arena than IQ, if only for the power released in some passages and especially those in which the choirs appear.
Then, it is true that Alan Reed's voice is not always at the level of the often powerful music of the band (at the same time, can we imagine Pallas without their current singer?) but at the end "The dreams of men" proves to be a great varied and inspired album, likely to please a great number of music lovers. - Official website
