Angra - Aqua

\r\nFor those who consider the year 2010 as a Power Metal Year, well this release is a good reason for them to get more excited. “Aqua” is very interesting and what really stands out is the Holy Land-like mood of the rhythm section and its ethnic orientation that most of their fans worldwide worship. After all, this element is what features their compositions the most, throughout the years; it’s like Power Metal is flirting with Progressive Metal. So, in the album “Aqua”, Angra use it a lot and, actually, it forefronts the songs, something that makes sense, considering that their previous drummer is back; of course, I’m talking about Ricardo Confessori, whose playing is just astonishing. Apart from this, another thing that stands out is the vocals; Falaschi’s performance is very expressive and full of emotion.
\r\nI think it’s pointless to compare Angra with their past self; On the year 2010, without being so popular as they used to nor having all this promotion they had in the past, they do their job just fine, ; that’s what matters the most.
\r\n“Aqua” is definitely much better than their recent albums, which, weren’t anything special, in my opinion. 
\r\nHighlights: Awake From Darkness, The Rage Of The Waters, A Monster In Her Eyes \r\n
