*. Kuusumun Profeetta .*

Album: Sanansaattaja Oraakkeli Salamurha Hyökkäysvaunu (2004)
Genre: Prog Rock (Symphonic/Psych./Folk)  /  Finland

A wonderful, epic prog rock album. Theatrical, but witty and somehow sarcastic, using some old cliches consciously and with some humour. Had the band been too serious about their efforts in this genre, would this album have become the laughing stock of the year, I believe. But note, this is definitely not a comedy album of any kind! The songs are mostly beautiful, and the vocals are really unique in style. The singer Mika Rättö(plays keys too) is very talented and his stylistic approach is remarkable. One may find his style annoying at first, but I find it awesome. Review by "Partizan" (Rate Your Music).

RATING:  8.5 / 10   **GREAT**
