Evergrey review on DPRP...
- Thread starter Demonspell

pretty good review, although I don´t agree with the following:
What's slightly missing for me is the keyboards - they're certainly much lower in the mix and Sven Karlsson was always going to be a loss to the band. The melodic sensitivity he was able add to the band's sound, was a major ingredient that hasn't quite been replaced.
Yes, sometimes a bit low, but after listening (a hell of a lot in general) and to the two albums straight after each other, I would say it's the other way around. The melodic sensitivity is way much more noticible on RD, while it sounds (and feels) much more static and impersonal on ISOT. With that I dont say that keys not good on ISOT, its just that the feeling, and how the instrument is treated, is a total different story on latest work, luckely to the better, in my opinion.
