ALBUM REVIEW
They say good wine takes a long time to ripen. In this case the process was long and extensive. Aragon's last album Mr. ANGEL was released in 1998. In 1999 MOUSE was released in its complete version but although it was remastered and combined with THE MEETING this basically was a re-release. So we actually have been waiting for a new Aragon album for about 6 years. Well, to answer the most obvious question of all: Was it worth to wait? Yes, it was. The Angel's Tear shows John Poloyannis, Less Dougan and Tom Bersing haven't lost their touch. The album contains jewels of different shapes and sizes. Just the stuff every Aragon fan has been craving for all this time. And the extra good news is that the band have left behind the more pop-song oriented approach of Mr. ANGEL and went back a bit more to their elaborate and inventive style of MOUSE. Now is that good news or not? This is a brilliant album, full of inventive twists but still with Aragons trademark ascessability. In short: Aragon at its best. A must-have.
