Mind’s Eye are back with their first new studio album in 4
years and there best yet in ‘Walking On h2o”. The album sees the
band taking a huge leap forward in the song-writing department
with each song being carefully arranged and perfectly balanced to
fit the theme of the album.
Walking On h2o is a concept piece and confronts the bands
thoughts on Human evolution, Science, Religion, Unexplained
phenomena, Alien abduction, deadly virus, earth pollution,
loyalty, marriage and Immortality. The aim and reached goal was a
cinematic rock album with songs that where individually so strong
that they could stand their own ground if served as singles,
fitting anyway the concept of the album. Great choruses covered
with crystal clear production making sure that Mind's Eye are here
to stay for lots of years to come.
The music is still progressive but not in a technical level.
Instead Mind's Eye rather shows their strength as songwriters,
still using melodies and hooks as their strongest weapons. This
time also providing them with the right amount of production
goodies the band always lacked to some extent previously.
Walking On h2o is a variety of symphonic, progressive music,
mixing it with classic hard rock tunes and softer songs fully
packed with string arrangements and big lush vocal harmonies
taking the listener back to the days of songs with big chorus and
hooks you'll be instantly singing to. Even though the song is the
bands focal point there is still lot’s of chops from both
guitarist/bass player Johan Niemann and drummer Daniel Flores to
go around.
Songs like "A rabbit in the hat" and "Equally Immortal" shows the
bands great chorus hooks, while songs like "Sahara in an
hourglass", "The Nazca lines", "Mrs. Clair Voyance" and "Heal my
karma" shows the bands super strength in writing symphonic and
progressive songs. The band also shows their stamina and brain
power with their second ever recorded instrumental song "Flight of
the An.unna.ki" showing what the band is fully capable of with
their instruments. On the heavier side you have songs like "Sacred
rules" and "Out of my system" showing that the band is capable of
making heavier epic songs with modern sound. The 70’s are also
represented here when the song "Umbrellas under the sun" appears
out of nowhere reminding you that bands like E.L.O. and Queen are
still a huge influence on the band. Last but not least you have
the two last songs "When I whisper" a song with only orchestral
arrangements and vocals, proving Andreas Novak can sing with so
much feeling it will give you tears to your eyes, and "Poseidon
says" which is 11 minutes long, the epic and ending song on the
album about one persons fight to survive his deadly cancer, his
whish to be immortal and to walk on water, sailing off to ask the
old Greek mythology god "Poseidon" for help.
