"Cover band of Pink Floyd, RPWL has for originality to propose in this "God Has Failed" original compositions and not simple covers of their favorite group."

Here is a band which, from its first album, didn't deceive anyone about the goods. At that time, RPWL defined themselves as a Pink Floyd cover band, but with the originality of offering original compositions and not simple covers of their favorite band.

In the end, it is not the originality that characterizes this "God Has Failed" since you will have to listen to Pink Floyd from the beginning to the end, without deviating from the guideline of this mythical band. Even the voice sounds like David Gilmour's. Some will say that this kind of band is not interesting and others that we can be happy with the birth of a second Pink Floyd as we could see in the early 80's the birth of a second Genesis called Marillion.

Anyway, what forces the admiration, it is the nerve that these musicians had in being inspired so brazenly by the compositions of Gilmour, Waters, Mason and Wright. If nothing is new, obviously, the production, the sensibility, the harmonies and the touch of these musicians give you the shivers in the back. "God Has Failed" is definitely one of those albums that takes a while to get rid of.

OTHER REVIEWS
ANATHEMA: A Natural Disaster (2003)
ATMOSPHERIC ROCK - "A Natural Disaster" is maybe less impactful than what the band has already done but it definitely remains a top-of-the-range album.
CONCEPTION: Flow (1997)
PROGRESSIVE METAL - Flow is a very pleasant record, melodic, powerful and above all very easy to listen to, unlike many progressive metal albums.
