Things have taken a shift towards simplicity on 'The Unseen', the riffs are simpler, the keyboards are more laid back and the song structures are more straight forward. Focus point has turned even more towards Danny Cecati's high pitched voice and this album has more in common with late 90's US Metal and Swedish Power Metal than its more progressive predecessor; 'A World Full of Grey'.
Danny Cecati proves once more why many consider him one of power metal strongest vocalists, and his performance on the on the album is top notch. After a short intro he takes a firm grip on the album and sets his mark on the entire album, and even though the album never quite reaches either of it's two great predecessors musically there is still plenty of powerful metal on this album to make people stop up and take notice.
The album reaches its highlights towards the end with the brilliant ballad "Wasting Away (Alone)" where Danny really lets his pipes ring, as well as the albums most experimental piece: "Confessions", where they successfully turn to old virtues.
A good and somewhat surprising album from Eyefear, not my personal favourite of theirs, but nevertheless an album I will continue to turn to every now and then...
