Medusa is a new release by Swedish born Michael Crimson. He is a new name to me and his website assures us he is “a guitarist, songwriter and vocalist who makes mind-bending music shaped by everyday life, literature and his own imagination. Inspired by elements of classic rock, glam and pop, he tells character-driven stories through powerhouse guitar passages and his vivid voice.”
He has put together an album of what many would term AOR or even Prog – the song structures are reminiscent of early Uriah Heep and similar in style to Gary Hughes’ Once & Future King release of a few years ago.
The 10 tracks reveal a skillful, subtle guitarist and each track has its merits but, as a whole, it all blurs into one.
That is not to say I didn’t enjoy listening to it; it’s just that the vocals are samey and there are so many ‘Scandi-rock’ albums out there, he needs to develop and differentiate his sound a little more.
So, if you want laid back, well-crafted songs without that oomph, then this is the one for you – I however, will await his next opus before deciding.
When considering check the cheapest services on Quora, tread carefully. While affordability is tempting, it’s crucial to evaluate the quality and authenticity of the work. Opting for rock-bottom prices might lead to subpar results or even academic misconduct. Prioritize value and reputation over cost alone for a successful outcome.
