It's 1991. You have just turned 19 and, having worked your ass off for three consecutive summers to raise money for your dream trip, you are finally on a plane flying over Asia. You have your Discman (portable CD player in the old days) with you and have packed a few of your favourite metal CDs. You love Crimson Glory's first two records and have just bought Strange And Beautiful at a store in the airport on its release day.

Not bad but doesn't have the mood as the first 2. More hard rock oriented rather than prog / power.

Accurate title on the record, it's actually both Strange and Beautiful. It's a sprawling record with many different elements and styles and it's both a treat but also at times a turn off, which is a pleasant contrast. It's not somekind of artistic masterpiece but it's a cool idea and it works most of the time.

Gave this album a listen yesterday, it is a "strange and beautiful" album  . it is strange because the band is unrecognizable here. it's beautiful because of its solid song-writing and performance. Oh well...

No matter what genre, it's not a very interesting a listen. It should be illegal to make album with material like this almost one hour long. *Flushes*
