opäť sledujem výrazne nízke hodnotenie pri prvých dvoch hodnotiteľoch (poslucháčoch album), pričom môj dojem z hudby na albume je výrazne odlišný a dá sa napísať, že aj dosť pozitívny. No musím aj uznať, že prvá pieseň po intre je oproti ich celkovej tvorbe o niečo slabšia (hlavne zo začiatku D.C.-ho spev), našťastie následne sa rozbehne a je podarená. Zároveň zvyšok albumu je výborný a kľudne by som napísal, že sa nesie v tradičnom šate ich predošlých albumov. Melodické refrény, príjemné klávesy, ktoré občas doplnia piesne svojou virtuozitou a doplňujúca gitara s rytmickou časťou, ktoré pekne dotvárajú piesne. Zo začiatku sa mi zdal byť menej výrazný aj zvuk, ale buď som si na neho časom zvykol alebo častejším počúvaním som ocenil jeho kvality a zvykol som si na daný sound. Ešte doplním, že album je potrebné si napočúvať. Až vtedy ohodnotíte jeho kvalitu. Som rád, že kapely ako Royal Hunt naďalej vydávajú novinky, pretože pri počúvaní ich hudby sa viem vždy pozitívne a príjemne naladiť. A práve to je účelom hudby. Má vzbudzovať pozitívne pocity a emócie pri počúvaní. Je to proste podarené album.

쿠퍼아재, 누가 칼들고 가성쓰지 말라고 협박함? 사실 전작에서도 가성이 좀 생경해서 별로 좋지 않았는데, 이번 앨범에선 차라리 그 생뚱맞은 가성이 낫다고 느낄정도로 진성으로 악을 쓰는 모습이 안쓰럽다. 밴드스코어도 전작보다 더 화려해졌지만 오히려 부족한 내실을 치장해서 가리려는 의도로밖에 안 보인다. 솔직히 전작을 상당히 괜찮게 들었는데 이건 실망스러운 수준. 그나마 전작의 리프나 멜로디가 앨범 중간중간 들리고, 개인적으로 프로그레시브 메탈을 평가하는데 가장 중요하다고 여기는 구성미가 나쁘지 않았기에 그럭저럭 들을만은 했으나 그 뿐이다.

예전에는 전곡이 다 귀에 쏙쏙 들어왔다면, 지금은 절반정도 곡은 좋고 나머지 절반은 그냥 그럼. 하지만 그럼에도 여전히 멜로딕하고, 드라마틱한 곡 전개가 훌륭한 수준급의 음악을 들려주고 있는 것만큼은 분명. 추천트랙은 Thorn in My Heart, Scream of Anger, Left in the Wind.

Show me 앨범 이후 후반기 최고의 앨범. 프로그레시브 메탈의 관점에서 한단계 스텝업한 모습을 보여준다. 이들의 멜로디야 두말 할 것 없이 훌륭한데, 이를 대곡에 잘 녹였고, Purge 트랙을 통해 part.1 앨범과 연결되는 짜임새까지 보여주며 즐거운 감동을 선사해준다. 코로나 시국에 Dystopia 두 앨범을 작업하면서 굉장히 많이 고심한 부분이 느껴져 높은 점수를 준다.

Royal Hunt is one of the bands that has never receive the recognition they deserve. "Dystopia – Part II" is a great album from this Danish Progressive/Neoclassical Metal band. I have listened to the album at least 10 times and the more I listen to it, the more I like it. The songs are all unique and never start sounding the same or boring along, even at the end.

그냥 저냥한 멜로디로 어떻게든 만들려고 노력을 하긴 하는데.. 글쎄..? 좀 더 텀을 두고 나오면 어떨까라는 생각이 든다. 피쳐링으로 어떻게든 멜로디를 살릴려 노력도 하긴 한다만.. 흠.... 평작 그이상 이하도 아니다...
