Caleb Wheeler Curtis: Ritual
Il discorso procede di preferenza nel segno del collettivo, facendo in tal modo risaltare la componente compositiva, nei cui interstizi s'inseriscono peraltro con puntualità e pertinenza gli interventi dei singoli, sopra il lavoro dei colleghi ma anche in sottoinsiemi, come accade per esempio per i soli stritch e pianoforte in "You Can't Just Keep The Music," episodio fra i più apprezzabili dell'album, diremmo insieme con "Bleakout," "Black Box Extraction" e il conclusivo "Ritual."
Quello che magari può lasciare leggermente a desiderare riguarda semmai un minimo di ripetitività di situazioni e un tasso di originalità non elevatissimo, peraltro all'interno di un lavoro di sicura solidità complessiva.
