ONEUROPE: Eurovision Song Contest news
Contests 2013 Prog Rock Albania

Prog Rock Albania

All you need to know about this song is there is an old boy on the mini stage playing the guitar in the middle eight – that should tell you everything.

It is, as Ewan at escbuzz.com tells me, a 33 minute Prog-Rock song condensed into three minutes – which is a feat in itself.  Vocally it’s OK, but it doesn’t hit any of the highs that you would expect.

It gets dry ice a plenty. In fact I don’t think I have ever seen quite so much dry ice in one place, and the lead singer – who looks a bit like Fred Dinage on crack – got completely covered.

Loads of drum kits on stage but overall its a beautiful mess of a song. – including flames out of a guitar and yet more CO2 at the end.
