If you ignore the extremely ugly front cover to the CD-booklet,
you'll find beautiful symphonic rock coming out of your speakers.
If I saw this album in the record store, I would never ever think
about buying it. The reason is that it is showing an ugly beast
like man both on the front cover, the back cover as well as under
the CD-tray. To me it looks more like a bad heavy metal album from
the 80's than a symphonic rock album.
Fortunately the music is the opposite of the horrible booklet pictures.
Haddad is playing dreamy, floating and beautiful symphonic rock
with many lengthy instrumental passages. It isn't hard to understand
where they got the band name Haddad from, as three of the member's
last name is Haddad.
A very good Brazilian band!
