Without any doubt, "World Under Control", the first album of a new French combo Uncolored Wishes, is one of the best surprises of the French Metal scene this year. The principal quality of this album and this combo, is that the guys has created something, their music is original and it's great to see that some people are still able to surprise us. I think that you should have a look on this review, for sure maybe that you'll discover something?

Uncolored Wishes has created something new, well not really because the band just uses a lot of different influences but the final result is surprising and new. Just imagine a mix of Jazz, Alternative music and Avangardist sounds with Progressive Metal, Power, Atmospheric music and finally Heavy Metal? Yeah I know, some of you probably believe that it cannot work and that it's probably a bit messy and I will tell to them that they're maybe not so wrong, though Uncolored Wishes is a good band and even if there are some mistakes in this album, all in all it's a good release really. "World Under Control" is an album of Power Metal first but not of cheesy Euro Power Metal, no because of course there are all those little touches of different music there and there and it's just different. As an example a song like "Amazone" begins with a classic Power Metal melody with fast double bass rhythm but you have also Keyboards which really sound electronic plus some really interesting breaks and Progressive complex lines with finally the voice of Marc Tari which clearly sounds "Heavy Metal". All the album is a bit like this song, it's always different, never linear and if some songs will be soft with some classic keyboards, some other will be a bit more "modern" and futurist with electronic sounds (and as always, this nice Heavy Metal voice). It's really good and original, well done and well interpreted for a first album, the goal is scored!

The production of "World Under Control" is really good and it's obvious that even if it's only the first album of these musicians, they're all really good performers. With a good sound and a nice cover, there is all what we need when we want to listen to a good album of Metal. Though, I have to do a little reproach, sometime the album is a bit messy and goes in a dozen of direction, it's ok don't worry but it's not so easy to follow the music of the band sometime but I think that it will be fixed with time and maturity anyway.

Uncolored Wishes will be one of the revelations of the more active than ever French Metal scene. If you're bored by classic Power Metal albums and want something else, have a look on this release, "World Under Control" is an original album which deserves all your attention. I hope that the band will be able to confirm all these good words in the future but be sure that I will keep an eye on them because I already smell the good old perfume of success here?
