Translation from the original German (under construction):


Finally, it is again. The total feeling of DISCIPLINE, which has been so incredible to me for many years was lost after I control this behavior, "Made in America" for the first time I had discovered and almost mischievous and forced moderation after two studio and one live album and a live DVD had to separate them. Because we want once in his life sweet and friendly disciplining listen to music from the Americas and even make the guys again from the dust, as if they had realized that with this behavior, and such music is not far in life brings. Instead, it appears even the singer of these good intentions, MATTHEW Parmenter, solo and as he calls his latest studio album? "Horror Express" of course - class development. Although this album is excellent, I will no more words about losing, because at this point it should go to 3RDEGREE, four men from New Jersey who finally DISCIPLINE to revive, they immediately confront some basic rules of the retro, neo - Sympho & blah blah blah-prog-rock violated.


As would be the basic rule number 1: "In the developed length ... every musical prog-Rod!" - This is replaced by infinity "retrogressive" wisdom: "In the near future is the spice!"


There is also the basic rule number 2: "Progressive Beautiful Mind has no choice - it is only the music is any text ... We do not care!" - This is totally replaced by the "strange world" argument: "Who never to text, but the music draws, Although the ears, but no mind! "


Therefore sign "Narrow-caster" (Who knows them yet, these two by a cable connected tin cans, which can actually among themselves "calling" and could equally depicted on the cover are?) Probably the short title and text from the impressive -- Thus the direct path from the sound of a musician in the ear of the listener. So everyone who, in his search for the next big Progrockentdeckung just curious after the maturity of the individual title squints, 3RDEGREE would advance with disregard punish. But he should, because it is through this album as his fair punishment received here because a truly remarkable fact a product on a silver platter is presented.


Probably, but will probably not all readers something with the American band DISCIPLINE can begin, here all the time as compared to 3RDEGREE had saddled. Therefore only so much to the music of the disciplined boys, in addition to excellent texts for me at the same time as Hörentscheidung were when I myself do not straight could come about if I make an album of "old" GENESIS or better yet listen to KING CRIMSON should - in the end it's DISCIPLINE.


"Narrow-caster" but especially remembers the singing at DISCIPLINE said, musically progressive in the area would be particularly ECHOLYN LITTLE ATLAS or to call in the alternative music rather the EELS, which for me but has always been progressive, if only their Albums concepts and the incredible diversity of its music, including the gloomy lyrics considered. Similarly grim fact is also to "narrow-caster" to, no matter whether it's the creeping insanity or extremely hot voyeurism involved. And then even if at the end of the album songs sentence tone, as we have since the death of Freddy Mercury of Queen no longer be heard, then I praise but actually any kind of Leichenfledderei!


CONCLUSION: The state of viertkleinste-Barack Obama-Country with the highest population density also may boast a band to call its own, entirely in the (spatial) meaning that U.S. federal government, the concept made its CD. Far to delve into prog-rock with impressive texts in short titled "eingezwängt" - and indeed, so what works even (except for "Free For All", which is an absolute failure), even without a single long track. Except of course, you would now have a fundamental discussion about breaking from the fence, whether 5 minutes and 49 seconds in the drawer "Long Track" may be consumed.
