Angra - Rebirth (2001)

After three albums, Brazillian band Angra kind of fell apart, and it looked like that would be the end of them. But guitarists Kiko Loureiro and Rafael Bittencourt did not give up, and recruited three new members, including vocalist Eduardo Falaschi, and brought out this fittingly titled release.
It cannot match the group's very best, and is just a tad perfunctionary, but there's still much to like here, with enough complexity to please fans, and they continue to carry a dignity that has been around them from the start; it's somehow hard to bag them.
