Debut album from this mexican band.Having lots of media coverage
in their country and sharing the stage with Rhapsody and Shaman make this band worth a
look.The album starts with an instrumental intro (thereīs four in the cd).After that
"In a dream" a great song,then comes "The holy garden", another great
track.Afterwards "Blue Rose" a bit slow at the beginning wich acelerates near
the middle and sounds just fine, then "Uey Tecutli Tenamaxtzin" a song in
spanish with very interesting lyrics and also one of my favourites. And then the track
wich gives the album itīs name;"The Earthīs crying", a great song with lots of
energy, being this one of the highlights of the album. To finish "Nightly
Vision" & "Forgetting the world", this one ends curiously with a prayer
in japanese! The album shows a talented band with great ideas and potential, but the
heavier tracks arenīt properly mixed.The drums should hit your chest in such an album,
and they donīt. This is a band to keep an eye into, but Iīm sure that properly mixed
this would be a killer album. Also the voice of the singer;operistic and very
"hispanic", give the songs a particular sound.
Score:7/10
