Eloy - Visionary
Review by Josh Chawelson
The album Visionary by Eloy is a progressive rock masterpiece that showcases the band's musical prowess and artistic vision. The album is a concept album that tells the story of a man who travels into the future and experiences a world that has been transformed by technology and science. The album is filled with epic soundscapes, intricate melodies, and soaring vocals that transport the listener on a journey through time and space.
The opening track, "The Day of Crimson Skies," sets the tone for the album with its haunting melody and atmospheric soundscapes. The album then moves into the title track, "Visionary," which is a 14-minute epic that features intricate guitar work and soaring vocals. The album then moves through a series of shorter tracks, each one building on the themes and motifs introduced in the previous tracks.
The album's standout track is "The Tides Return Forever," a 20-minute epic that features some of the band's most intricate and powerful music. The track features soaring vocals, driving rhythms, and intricate guitar work that culminates in a breathtaking climax.
