Review :Tug of War - Enchant



Last studio album so far by Enchant that gains a new keyboard player Bill Jenkins.
Following the footsteps of Blink, ToW is a strong record with the traditionnal Enchanted strength, Ed Platt thumping bass, Ted emotional voice and occasionnal deep implicated lyrics, Doug Ott great sense for melodies.
Even if the opener sinking sands is a great song, strangely I would have put the more rock on title track on first position.
After such a beginning, the middle of the album suffers a bit (despite of the great Queen of the informed with its instrumental bridge that gives me a chill down the spine) between small balade (beautiful) and strange song (Lost in a movie)but goes out with a bang with another full instrumental track very melodic before the final song that is very Marillion-esque (and that is a compliment) Comatose , written on piano with a great mood and slow power building riff  making easily one of my ever favorite Enchant track.

You can judge by yourselves
